There are several attention-grabbing games this Friday night, and then the weekend explodes with playoff, championship and regular-season rugby galore. The following lists those girls and women’s rugby games occurring in the U.S. — or abroad, if involving U.S. players — from Friday-Sunday, Oct. 25-27, 2024. Livestream links included when known. Feel free to message Jackie Finlan with missing matches and/or results. [lead photo: DSHA fights Catholic Memorial for the Wisconsin HS 15s Championship.]
