GRR: No name
City Honors girls team out of the Buffalo area is on tour in Italy with Irish Rugby Tours.
Sunday was Gameday #1 at Lupi Frascati Rugby just outside of Rome.
This was a competitive game but played in a bit of a cooperative way.
We were all set to make major changes this week and instead ... well, the rankings were backed up.
Penn State one spot ahead of UMW? Penn State wins by a try.
Life #2 and Lindenwood #4? Life wins by four points.
The Vancouver 7s is the next stop on the SVNS World Series and we're getting into the serious part of the season.
Leading up to the World Championship tournament at the LAX SVNS at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. May 3-4, Vancouver is tournament four out of the six (before LA).
Here's where we stand:
The National 7s Youth Rugby Championship is back for another year and will return to Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio.
The Girls U16 and U14 brackets return and that has been a fixture of the tournament. However in 2024 the response for those brackets were low. The hope or expectation is that girls teams will be back.
National 7s Youth Rugby Championships Past Winners:
GRR's #1-ranked Cal team came out of the weekend with two victories.
On Saturday, Cal defeated Grand Canyon 86-21. This is a rebuilding GCU side, and they got a bit of a lesson rom an experienced Golden Bears outfit.
Scrumhalf Cormac Saint scored the opening two tries of the game and added six conversions, all in the first half, for 22 points on his own.
