re: LSU Rugby Thread: 11 Tigers Named Red River All-Conference

Good news for anyone interested in getting some LSU Rugby gear. The club has finally worked things out between Canterbury and the UREC. If anyone would like to purchase LSU Rugby shirts, shorts, sweatpants, etc. details for ordering and prices are on the LSU Rugby Alumni Facebook Page

Today's match against Houston has unfortunately been cancelled due to weather. Heavy rain, lightning, and poor field conditions are at fault. This leaves LSU without a single match in almost a month leading up to it's Championship Match against Baylor. These kinds of result, a forfeit win and a cancelled game, also hurt the Tigers in the rankings as it causes them to plummet out of the national spotlight. Sometimes though you just have to play the hand you're dealt.

LSU is next in action next weekend in Austin for the Red River Rugby Collegiate Conference Championship... The RRRCCC. Unnecessarily long name aside, LSU is completely focused on taking down a dangerous Baylor side. The Baylor Bears are the surprise team in the league this year. Despite a rough start and a huge loss to Oklahoma early in the fall, they found a way to turn it around. A determined Baylor team managed to win out and captured the Red River North crown.

This one is promises to be a tough battle for the Tigers and they hope to show up in peak form. The winner will receive a first round home playoff game and the loser may be left out of the playoffs entirely. It will be a full day of rugby next weekend in Austin. There will be consolation matches for other Red River teams, followed by a semi-professional match between the Austin Huns and Rugby Utah. This is all leading up to the main event. LSU vs Baylor.

Broken tackle by the wing by Baylor wing. Try in the corner. Tied up at 5-5.

LSU with a huge break but drop it a couple phases later. It's clear that not having any games in the past month has left the Tigers a little rusty.

Lol, touch judge gives Baylor player a yellow card for something, probably a high tackle. I hate it when touch judges try to be the big men on the field, though it works out for LSU this time. LSU will be a man up for the next 10 minutes.

LSU wins a war of attrition deep in Baylor territory and dots it down for the try.
10-5 Tiger lead. Conversion GOOD!

12-5 LSU


LSU on the attack again. Lineout to the Tigers just inside the Baylor 22.

And LSU scores once again just before halftime. With the conversion, LSU now leads 19-5. The LSU offense seems to be waking up.

I expect that Coach Red and Coach Scott aren't happy with the team's performance so far. They will be lighting a fire under the Tiger's asses during half-time and hopefully LSU can clean up some sloppy play come 2nd half.

A yellow card to the Tiger tighthead for dangerous rucking puts LSU down a man early in the second half.

And another quick penalty for a high tackle. Baylor lineout up a man at the Tiger 22.

Important point in the match for Tigers.

WTF just happened, LSU looked like they just stopped while the Baylor player ran right through the defense, try for the Bears, conversion good, 19-12 Tigers with the lead still.
