The 2024-25 season is upon us, and the National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) is the first competition to log multiple regular-season games. Several DI and DII programs contested pre-season matches last weekend and got a peak at the first-years entering the NCAA varsity rugby space and freshening up the field.
