College Men
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (Penn State Press Release) – Penn State has selected James Willocks as head coach of the men’s rugby program. He will begin his duties on February 1.
The Men’s Collegiate All American assembly this past weekend pulled in players from plenty of high-profile teams, but every now and then they bring in someone from a team that doesn’t get a lot of notice, and often those players impress; one such player was, and is, Larome White.
Winter break is over for the Red River Conference, and it’s back to the rugby field with plenty still on the line.
This weekend, Baylor takes on Arkansas in a clash that will basically decide which of these two could chase for the top. It’s a tough job for either, as LSU is 3-0, Oklahoma 3-1, and Texas A&M 2-1.
Goff Rugby Report has a new set of men's college DI rankings, now including all teams that play 15s through the year.
This ranking includes teams that played DIA and DIAA in the fall, and also those set to play in the spring. This is based heavily on historical results, so expect these rankings to shift over time.
A new three-division conference is being formed for the 2017-18 DIA college season, with an eye toward localizing certain competitions and keeping teams that want to play only in the fall together.
