GRR: No name
The SoCal Interscholastic Rugby Federation (SCIRF) and Southern California Youth Rugby (SoCal) have developed a new Premier High School League for the 2025-26 season.
The USA men's national 15s team has qualified for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia after a 29-13 defeat of Samoa Sunday afternoon at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Denver.
The USA kicks off against Samoa in Denver at 2:30 PM ET in what will decide who is 5th in the Pacific Nations Cup, and, more importantly, is a World Cup 2027 Qualifier.
For USA Head Coach Scott Lawrence, the importance of the game is more about it being the next game, not how big a game it is.
Seven ranked D1A teams were in action this weekend and they're all worth a look for different reasons.
Opening up the list is Navy (Ranked #3 by GRR), which looked very, very impressive in a 65-3 win over Mary Washington (#11).
The newly-minted ARC conference kicked off this weekend with St. Bonaventure and Wheeling logging impressive wins.
This conference was created by five NCR teams that used to be in the Rugby East, plus Wheeling out of Big Rivers. This conference will (as we understand) get five playoff spots into NCR's D1 postseason, so it is expected to be competitive.
