The country is moving into all-star season, and two big events are happening in the Midwest: Thunderbird Cup and U23 LAU tournament. The Eagles are in Spain for round two of the HSBC SVNS World Championship. Women’s Elite Rugby is in round four of the regular season, and high schools are still naming champions as well. Feel free to send Jackie Finlan updates and omissions. [lead photo: Alex Ho @hoiho_photo]
