Some *big* rugby games this weekend, including the Harvard (lead photo: Pat Moroney) vs. Dartmouth showdown, that punctuate a stellar lineup of girls and women’s matches in the U.S. from Oct. 11-13, 2024. The weekend actually begins this Friday, as the USA Women’s National Team plays Ireland at 12:30 p.m. PT (watch the free livestream on RugbyPass TV). Am I missing a game or result? Feel free to email Jackie Finlan or message @therugbybreakdown on Instagram with updates.
The Rugby Breakdown has been in Tahiti on a sponsored media trip for the Papeete International 7s tournament this past week and will be reporting on the event, the women’s division and U.S. rep Eagle Rock.
