2013 College Rugby Championships

[superman7515]

Delaware has started off pretty well, defeated the Florida Gators 34-0 and the Texas Longhorns 10-5, next game is later this evening.

Dartmouth again looks like the team to beat with a 34-0 win over Penn, 31-5 win over Wisconsin, and 21-19 win over Arizona.

Villanova went 0-3 and has been eliminated - Lost 57-0 to Navy, 41-0 to UCLA, and 41-0 to St. Josephs, no offense to the Nova fans but the Wildcats were probably the worst team in this year.

Penn is 0-2 with their third game later this evening, they have the loss to Dartmouth and a 26-5 loss to Arizona.

I just got back from PPL. Stayed through the Zona Dartmouth game. This was my first time ever watching rugby (I won the tickets and figured Id watch Nova play) so I'm pulling alot of this out of my ass....

Nova looked terrible. We didn't qualify for the tournament, we were a late sub for Army. Since we were close we were able to fill the slot on 1.5 week notice. Sat with the rest of the Nova Rugby team, they said the issue was that Nova never plays 7s, while some school had seperate teams and had been playing for months. Our spacing was terrible. You could tell they weren't used to having to spread out so much and cover so much ground.

UDel's match with Texas was a great one. 2 very different style of play. Delaware possessed the ball better than anyone in the tournament putting on a passing clinic, but never really seemed to move the ball up field. Texas on the other hand didnt really play like a team. They had great players who could make people miss for alittle, but never get too far.

It was a fun day, for anyone who's team is in it or is remotely interested in the sport I highly recommend it. Only issue was absurd pricing
