Rugby Updates in DII Norcal Rugby

1) San Jose State Dropped out of league for this season which is a major bummer because they've traditionally been a very strong team (placing third in the nation back in 2000, and making Elite 8s in 2002). Kinda odd because it seemed like they had more the sufficient players last year. But such is league, Santa Clara is playing this year and San Jose is out

2)Pictures!!! Weeeee of the UCSC WRFC vs Santa Clara WRFC match...actually we've had these for a while and I've just been too lazy with midterms to post them
Kickoff


Lots of pics of backs play



Skipping through traffic


Santa Clara was always coming up hard on defense


But sometimes wingers just have their day (Kelly McMahon by the way)


3)

SACRAMENTO STATE women 46 – Santa Clara 10 Referee: Rob Hendrickson
Referee Coach: Sam Reagle

Saturday morning at Sac State was a great venue and time for the spirited game between Sac State women and Santa Clara, who unlike the referee, drove up the night before. Sac State scored first and in the first minute, followed with dominating possession and break-aways for the rest of the half. Santa Clara found itself needing to commit too many players to the tackle in the first half, and Sac State led by 27 - 0 at the end of the first half. Santa Clara came back to play to a much closer 19 - 10 second half.

Well this will make things interesting...

4) I totally misspoke in a previous post, we don't have a game for another week and it'll be against sac state not st. mary's

5) Yup, Humboldt State held pretty close to Davis losing by a single point. Davis came away 7-6. Interesting how Slug Fest kinda set this one up way back in fall

6) GAAAAAH! Will someone tell USA rugby to frickin stop using frames on their websites? NO ONE USES FRAMES....ugh. So ugly and useless and frustrating.

7) there's a note up on pelicanrefs that a ton of clubs need to respond to keep in contact with them

ok that's it...back to midterms....the six nations has been pretty ugly but so much looser then the world cup play (thank god I got tired of sleeping through matches) Kelly White (of Belmont Shore) is going to HK 7s with the rest of the Eagle squad and they're looking for donations...I just don't have 500 bucks to support
