USA plays Japan! And TRB is heading to the CRC 7s in Boyds, Md., this weekend — a trip made possible by the generous sponsorship of NCR. Be sure to follow @therugbybreakdown for photos and videos. • Starting Friday, the first of the USA Club Rugby Super Regional Championships takes place, meaning women’s DI and DII will add a national semifinalist to their respective brackets by Sunday evening. Also note that WER is playing its first Friday night match • In high school action, we’re looking at the Midwest High School 15s Championship, which features several teams building toward nationals, as well as NorCal 15s playoffs and highly anticipated EGRL matches. • Something missing? Message Jackie Finlan.
