We thought about doing it this year, but stayed in the South, which turns out to be a huge mistake now that Charlotte has dropped out of D1. Now we're stuck with 3 teams and USA Rugby declared that our #2 seed will have to travel to the Midwest. Life is surely #1, we plan to beat the Gades for #2 seed, but now 2 or 3 is irrelevant if have to travel.

We did just complete a mini-tour of Texas a couple weeks ago, defeating HARC and Woodlands.

I belief USA Rugby is getting entirely restructured next year to where we have to play in Texas no matter what we choose. I'd prefer if we can keep our 2nd side in the South though. Less travel (Baton Rouge, Mobile, Jackson, Memphis, etc.)

Yeah, from the outside looking in, the South looks to be a big mess.

What kept yall from joining this year? Im looking for someone to come in and put the Blacks in their place.

(For non-rugby fans, Blacks = Austin Blacks)

D'oh! I guess that's what I get for not really reading the thread before posting, ya'll aren't talking about Habana.

Isles does look good. I hope one day though USA can be competitive in 15s and not just focused solely on 7s. Even though I'd agree 7s is probably the best way to grow the sport here.
