NEW YORK, NY - Things are really starting to heat up out West in the men's CRAA top division. It's so hot, in fact, that Josh Ressio couldn't come anywhere near the studio this week and had to be taped separately.

We still managed to get Josh's take on St. Mary's struggles against UCLA and Cal's utter domination of Arizona and GCU this weekend, as well as Arknasas State's place in the college rugby landscape after being shut out by Lindenwood.

Speaking of Lindenwood, their women's team opened their spring season in hopes of defending both the 7s and 15s national titles that they claimed last season. Will Life be the ones facing them in the D1 Elite Championship again this year? Or have they been removed from contention for daring to play against NCR teams in the fall?

And finally, if you're an Iona Gael, make sure you take precautions this weekend! Colby thinks all of it's alumni have been cursed after some bad injury luck with the guys on Rugby New York. Fortunately, everyone is healthy and well and so we were able to check in on some MLR Rookies who aren't former Iona Gaels as well.
