The rugby weekend starts on Friday, Nov. 13, with the National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) 15s regional playoffs. Four locations are alive with DI, DI-AA, DII and DIII action. National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) is into its postseason, too, and will host semifinals at the higher seeds. In the USA Club Rugby sphere, the Midwest and Empire GU will name their champions, and in the high school, the highlight is the Rugby Texas 7s championship in San Antonio. Kickoff times and livestreams are included where known. E-mail Jackie Finlan or DM @therugbybreakdown with updates. [lead photo: Jackie Finlan / TRB]
