The National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) conference finals take the lead this weekend, and the NCAA varsity programs will feature on ESPN+ this Saturday (kickoffs in ET). Otherwise, the western half of the club and college spheres host some season-openers, and Tennessee will name its high school 7s champion. Overseas, the Premier Women’s Rugby competition puts U.S. Eagles back in motion.
