There are fewer girls and women’s rugby games occurring in the U.S. (and internationally, if involving U.S. players) this Friday-Sunday, Nov. 8-10 relative to last weekend, but the weight of the next three days is the same if not heavier in some segments. USA Club Rugby is naming its Midwest champions and New England is at the semifinal stage (read more). In college rugby, NCR has a few more key matches before it locks up its DI, DII and DIII regional championship brackets. And while high school has mostly wrapped up, NorCal names its single-school 7s champ and Michigan is holding 15s playoffs. Also, check out the HS select teams heading to Old North State Invitational at Guilford College. • Livestream links included where known. Send updates to Jackie Finlan.
