February Coach Insider: Paul Horne

The pandemic has created some setbacks in getting the second half of the rugby season underway at WWU. The campus of San Diego has been shut down, so the team’s trip has been rescheduled to the 26th of March.

Yale Rugby will also be in attendance at the University of San Diego on March 26th, so both WWU and USD will have games with Yale on this day. The schools are currently trying to get a rugby representative from the southeast U.S. to attend as well in hopes of creating a Four Corners Rugby Challenge.

In terms of the current schedule, the WWU rugby team is supposed to be playing against Seattle, Central, Oregon State, UW, and the University of Oregon before their trip to San Diego. If you’re an alumnus that wants to support the team in San Diego, consider making an appearance on the sidelines on March 26th.
