NEW YORK, NY - That's right folks it's that time of year! The playoffs are here so there's nothing to fear. I'm...not going to keep up the rhyming thing it's too hard, even though I was an english major in college.

Anyway, the gang is back together to break down the opening matchups in the men's and women's NCR playoff tournaments as well as preview the NIRA finals between Dartmouth and Harvard.

Plus, Zach, Colby, and Josh talk Pac 7s and how momentous it is for Navy to be ranked number one overall in the D1A for the first time ever.

All that and more in the latest installment of the College Rugby Wrap Up!

NEW YORK, NY - After a brief hiatus, the gang returns in full force to discuss the latest happenings around the college rugby landscape.

Rugby East is heating up with Navy's huge win over Army. The Midshipmen will have one last test against a very good St. Bonnaventure side to try and remain undefeated this season.

The NIRA playoff brackets are set, with a rematch between Army and Harvard headlining the proceedings. Dartmouth, the one seed, will play Quinnipiac in their semifinal matchup.

And the Big Ten will see a matchup between the two favorite's from the very beginning of the season, with Indiana squaring off against Ohio State.

And finally, NCR's Angela Smarto stopped by the NY studio to chat with Matt McCarthy about some of the best women's playoff matchups in National Collegiate Rugby.

NEW YORK, NY - Are Major League Rugby's players and owners in their first big fight? USA Rugby/MLR star Nick Civetta, representing the United States Rugby Players Association (USRPA), pleads the players' case re the fallout of LA and Austin dropping out of the league, only to be replaced by Chicago. Are the Expansion and Supplemental Drafts fair? Are player contracts one-sided? Is the salary cap realistic? Are the owners acting in good faith? With Matt McCarthy countering, these questions and more are addressed. Also, Civetta addresses why Team USA's men find themselves fighting for their Rugby World Cup lives in a repechage tournament far, far away.
