Spring Texas Tour Preview

Tour Preview

The 2022 DRFC Spring Tour will take place March 16-23 in Austin, Texas, a location yet to be visited by Dartmouth Rugby. Over the week we will focus on both XVs and 7s in training and exhibition matches, with plans for our A and B sides to play the All-star team of the Lone Star Conference which encompasses much of Texas’s collegiate rugby, followed by a round-robin 7s tournament with Baylor.

Other activities include a MLR game between the Austin Gilgronis and New England Freejacks on March 19, featuring Mason Koch, DRFC Captain Class of 2020, and Assistant Head Coach Mitch Wilson lining up against one another. We also look forward to having a barbecue kindly hosted at alumnus John Hamlin’s home the night of March 17.

 

This will be the first DRFC tour since the 2019 trip to Florida, and we are excited to start our spring campaign by continuing this tradition that has been a foundational component of the DRFC. Our goals for spring tour are to improve on the already high standard kept over this fall so that we approach the upcoming 7s season with skill and confidence. We also look forward to building strong skills and fitness foundations that will take us through the spring season and propel us toward our ambitions of winning a national championship in 7s.

 

Thank you for your continuous support, especially the recent success of the Club Sports Challenge.
