There have been little surprises in the first two rounds of the 2019 D1A Rugby 15s College Championship. California Golden Bears and St. Mary’s College Gaels in the West and Life Running Eagles and Lindenwood Lions in the East are the last four teams standings.
Let’s start with the Cal Bears and their quest to make it back to the championship final and redeem for last year’s blowout loss to Life. Cal Rugby is seeking the program’s 29th rugby 15 championship (to go with 5 rugby 7s titles) - a May 4th victory will also be the 100th team national championship claimed by Cal in its long athletics history.
