ISU Rugby Playing in National Championship Tomorrow!

This is great. How can they be so good and get almost no attention? Is this a small "national" club league with only a few teams? Or is this truly a bigger deal and we are missing something that is really rather significant?

Yeah I'm surprised there isn't more attention on this. Looking at the website it seems like they're in the highest league in college rugby. Kind of disappointed it hasn't been picked up and promoted by cyclone fanatic at all really or by the school.

College rugby is kinda weird. In layman's term, Iowa State club plays at an FCS level if you want to compare it to football, as theres a Division I-A Rugby (teams like Texas, Texas Tech, North Texas, Oklahoma, most California colleges, etc) and Division I-AA Rugby (which Iowa State is in, with other teams like OK State, Kansas, Missouri, K-State, etc).

The "FCS" rugby level actually has a a lot more teams than "FBS" rugby.

Based upon my quick google search I think this is a pretty big deal.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but we are Division 1 which is the second tier of Rugby (Think FCS vs FBS) but other schools like Clemson are in the same tier. Based upon ISU Rugby's Facebook site we had to win several other times before this and thus it is a true national championship.

San Diego looks to be a pretty decent team historically which would make the title significant.

Oh I saw kstate and Oklahoma state etc. and assumed that was "FBS" equivalent. Weird

My point stands this seems pretty significant and a big deal. To me it is at least.
