GRR: College Men
This piece of All-Time American Rugby Players recognition comes in large part thanks to ivyrugby.com.
In the late 1800s colleges played a form of football that was essentially rugby. Over time they adopted rules variations (much as Aussie Rules, Gaelic Football, and Association Football did) and turned it into American Football.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused new and innovative ways to keep the rugby flame burning.
Western Oregon University's rugby team has made good use of shutdown time, using social media and a nifty video to raise money for their local food bank.
The team has been raising donations for the WOU Food Pantry, helping feed those who are struggling financially.
Friends and fans are mourning this week the untimely death of former University of Notre Dame player Zac Plantz.
Plantz, who graduated in the spring of 2015, was a charismatic and emotional leader of the Irish during his tenure there.
The Met New York U23 Selects defeated a combined White Plains team 43-24 in a hastily-organized game Saturday in the New York area.
The Met NY team is comprised of players who played their high school rugby in the New York City area, and have gone on to college either nearby or far away.
