This month, Western Washington University’s head rugby coach Paul Horne talks about what to expect in the upcoming season. He also gives insight into some of the challenges related to rebuilding the team and setting a schedule for this year’s season.
The rugby team’s playing schedule currently includes two league matches in the fall with UW and UO, home and away games with the University of Victoria, Trinity Western University, and Central Washington University, and tentative plans to play the University of SanDiego in January.
WWU’s rugby team members haven’t played as a Western team since March of 2020, so there are several team-building exercises and fitness routines in store as the season begins.
