Congratulations to our favorite female rugger from The Woodlands, Meya Bizer, on being selected to wear the Red, White, & Blue at the IRB Women's 7s World Series stop in Guangzhou, China. That's AWESOME!
I expect EVERY DFW-area rugby club to jump on this opportunity! Loren Broussard needs assistance coaching an rugby clinic for troubled youth in Arlington, TX
ARC
Texas A&M at Texas will be livestreamed tonight (Friday) at 7:30pm on the Allied Rugby Conference's Ustream Channel. SFA Rugby Alum Tim Wilks and myself will be commentating. Judging by the social media chatter, this will be a well-attended and well-played match!
The ARC posted their podcast and blog covering this weekend's matches.
The Oklahoma at Tech match will not be played at the original venue. Stay tuned for an update.
SWC
St Edward's is hosting a Fund-Raiser at Pluckers for severely injured rugger Zach Chodaniecky. TIAR's Dan Holzhauer published an article about SEU's tendency to overcome all obstacles this season.
Lonestar
UT-Dallas Coach Tony Wagner discusses his team's wins in San Antonio at the Lonestar Conference Championship last weekend. The Comets were impressive in San Antonio and even more impressive when you consider that they are 17-0 over two years in Lonestar Conference play! 17 straight wins!
Miss Cellaneus
Houston Texan JJ Watt tweeted Irish Rugby Captain Brian O'Driscoll about playing #8 for the Green. Yes, the same Watt that "proposed" to a six-year-old girl who was distraught over being too young to marry him. Texas rugby players love you too, JJ!
Ed Hagerty speaks from retirement about bringing back the National All Star Competition (NASC).
