As you’ve probably already realized, Michigan Rugby’s spring season is cancelled. While it’s painful for us to lose out on our season, public safety is more important at this time.
This year’s Michigan Rugby spring break trip (aka tour) took place from February 28 to March 8. You can read about the details of the trip here. We documented our travels through daily diary entries written by different members of the team.
Congratulations to the March Alumnus of the Month, Kevin Cunningham. // When did you play? I played at Michigan from the fall of ’80 through the spring of ’82 while I earned my MBA at the business school.
Sues was widely regarded as the favorite at the beginning of the tournament, and while they never led our power rankings, they delivered on that hype when it mattered.
Last week, Michigan Rugby finalized most of its game schedule for Spring 2020. As always, the 7s team will participate in tournaments throughout the months of March and April.
One of Michigan Rugby’s coolest traditions is the annual spring break trip, also known as tour. In addition to the typical vacation, tour always includes some philanthropy and, of course, rugby.
In contrast to Round 4, Round 5 had a slew of entertaining games. Dudes finally lost, and Ross finally won. Dudes vs. Sues came down to the final minute. Looking ahead, four teams remain in the race for the Intrasquads title.
Intrasquads Round 4 featured a spate of blowouts; only one game was decided by less than 25 points. While it resulted in less exciting rugby, it did provide clarity on which teams are legit contenders for the title.
After Intrasquads Round 1, we listed Jones as the the worst team in our power rankings. Two weeks later, Jones looks like a legitimate championship contender. The race for the title is more open than ever.
