Some big rugby goings-on this weekend. The USA Women’s National Team faces Samoa in the WXV 2 opening round, the same day that the Women’s Premier League will name is 2023 national champion between Berkeley and the Colorado Gray Wolves. There’s all kinds of regular-season ball happening at the college, club and high school levels. And Idaho is entering its HS district championship stage this Thursday and Saturday. Check back often for updates. [Lead Photo: Khulani Media/World Rugby]
