Both teams are great.

It is expected that BYU will beat Colorado, though nothing for granted. When BYU lost they had not had much practice and did not send some of their key starters. No excuse, just history.

As for UVSC, they are an up and coming team. Expect them to beat this other team and advance in their league.

And Utah was one play away from joining BYU in the national Final Four.

Once they get past Colrado (thinking positive) they will face their eternal nemisis CAL who have a National Championship history that is second to none.

I would love to see the Cougs upset CAL but we better take care of business first and defat Colrado.

GO COUGS!

MY roomate is on the UVU Team, This is one of the most exciting things ever to happen to UV. They are the super underdogs, but i think they will win. They can do it

The score is final: BYU 42 Colorado 13

Now they play Cal for the National Championship, Which just won their game. Third year in a row that these two teams will meet for the NCAA Rugby finals.

One note, BYU missed 5(?) extra points. In football an extra point is kicked from dead ahead of the goal posts and is worth 1 point. In rugby it is kicked in a straight line back from where the try was scored and is worth 2 points. They can't miss that many kicks against Cal and expect to win. Though if they miss that many kicks it also means they scored 5 trys/touchdowns.

Anyone catch the UVU score?

One bit of additional information.

It turns out that UVSC/UVU is playing in the Division IIA National Championship game! They are playing last years Division IIA Champion Radford.

I wouldn't worry about UVSC getting run over though, they have already beaten the number two team in Division IIA Middlebury just last week! By a very respectable score of 14-5. It takes incredible mental strength and discipline to beat a champion caliber team by such a low score.

I believe UVSC plays for the Division IIA National Championship tomorrow.

That gives the state of Utah the potential of two rugby National Champions on the same day, both D1 and D2 levels. In both cases, they have to beat the defending national champions. And if they both pull it off, Utah will officially be THEE rugby hotspot of North America! Throw in Highland High rugby team and we all but own the game!

I am getting wwaaaayy ahead of myself here though!

Go Wolverines!
Go Cougars!

PS I wonder how many players on both teams are Highland High alum? GREAT program up there!

UVU plays tomorrow
