GRR: No name
Gamebreakers this weekend. Here’s a list of players who made an impact for their teams in Men’s DI rugby:
So many great games have occurred since the first Women DI Fall rankings, and some big shifts were needed. There were a handful of cross-conference games that not only provided great competition but also nice contrast.
Whenever Stony Brook wins a game - which happens a lot - you’re likely to hear one name mentioned every time.
James Sheridan, Jimmy Sheridan. However you say it, the Seawolves prop who sometimes fills in at lock is the rock up which Stony Brook rugby is built.
If all eyes aren’t on Alabama in the SCRC, maybe they should be, as the Tide moved to 3-0 in the West division with a convincing 53-19 victory over Florida this past weekend.
The victory, and the 3-0 start, are both a manifestation of increased confidence for the Alabama program after a somewhat surprising playoff run last season.
Indiana and Michigan were both undefeated as they entered last weekend’s match, and had enjoyed some good warm-up matches to prepare for the competitiveness of the Big Ten. Both teams are working with large pockets of young, developing players, which bodes well for the future, but adds some stress to the present.
