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

Unfortunately the University of Arkansas Rugby Club will not be able to make it down to Baton Rouge for their March 14th Match against LSU. I heard a rumor and have confirmed it with someone from the club. They listed a few reason as to why, mostly due to funding constraints.

It's a shame as that match was going to be Family Day for the Tigers with many players having family coming to town to watch the game and visit. I believe that the match will be recorded as a 20-0 forfeit victory for LSU in terms Red River Standings purposes. This basically clinches the division for LSU securing them a spot in the Red River Championship. LSU would have to lose out against A&M and Houston (A team LSU beat 139-0) for A&M to overtake them.

In other Red River Rugby news, Oklahoma is taking on Baylor for a defacto division championship game for the Red River North. The winner of that match will be in the driver's seat to face off with LSU in the Red River Championship.

For LSU this season, winning the Red River is not the final goal. LSU is hoping to dominate their remaining schedule in order to rise in the rankings and secure a home playoff match. This time LSU hopes to be better prepared than for last year's match against Arizona. The Tigers hope to at least make it to the Round of 8.

Geaux Tigers! Bulawayo!
