I believe it is going to be Sunday, May 25th up in Cleveland...wherever it is St. Ed's plays their games at. That is where the high schools state championships are this year...

Congratulations to Nate Ebner for making the US Under-20 side (again) and to our own wadc45 for coaching him up . Looks like a GREAT international tournament in Wales next month.

Won 32-22 against what I would consider to be an Ohio select side moreso than just Ohio University...I think they were desperate for a win and seeing as though this was an exhibition I think they pulled in a few ringers. Either way, Bucks win and the season wraps up this weekend with the alumni game.

FYI, ESPN Classic is carrying the Rugby Super League finals live at 8 PM on Saturday evening...NYAC vs. Belmont Shore.

I dvr'd it so I missed the overtime periods. It dragged in places, but was a pretty good match even before the OTs.

Pretty sad, though, the difference between our "best" and the rest of the world.

So true...

Good to hear, but I love the Kooga shorts.

ELV's to go global. This one sucks :

Law 20 - Scrum​

11. Introduction of an offside line 5 meters behind the hindmost feet of the scrum.
12. Identification of scrum half offside lines.

 

[wadc45]

We've already started talking about how to address the ELVs next season...

 

[RugbyBuck]

Ahead of the curve. Next stop, national finals.

Thanks to LightningRod for finding the article...

Willatt, who has orally committed to play rugby next year at Ohio State, spends much of the practice spouting terms such as "scrum, crouch, tuck, pause, engage, set it, pit, ruck" and an Americanized term Murphy likes to toss around, "junkyard."
