GRR: No name
This weekend is not only about #1 vs #2.
Although, that is pretty cool.
#1 vs #2 as Xavier and St. Ignatius Clash
The top two teams in Utah in #7-ranked school team Herriman and #4-ranked Cavemen met up Saturday evening in Utah league play, and it was the Cavemen who came away victors.
It was Senior Night for Cavemen and they were recognizing 21 seniors, most of whom had been with the Cavemen/American Fork program since early middle school.
A blistering offense against a stalwart defense went the way of the try-scorers as #2-ranked St. Ignatius of Cleveland beat #1 Xavier of New York in a very entertaining matchup in neutral territory in Hollidaysburg, Pa.
Lindenwood beat Navy 10-3.
Scholz Award Nominee Duncan Krige blocked a kick and chased it down to score the only try of the game. Both teams had other chances but Lindenwood’s ability to stop Navy’s maul was the difference.
World Rugby will not be holding a World Rugby Trophy this year, and will instead implement plans to expand the U20 World Championship for 2026.
What that does, however, is leave a bunch of national U20 programs without a specific competition and, crucially, a funded competition.
