Big a-doings a-transpiring in the Big State this weekend as we shift to playoff mode. The U-19 and high school kids mix it up for top spot, as do the D3 men. Speaking of D3 men, we have some good match ups here in Texas. The St. Thomas mens club has surprised a lot of people, but DARC has been rolling. Can the Dallas-area club make it a perfect sweep?
D1 men still have slots to play for behind Austin, so the games matter. Dallas RFC vs Harlequins ALWAYS matters, but the Reds want a win for reasons other than the rivalry.

What is going on with the West appeal of the Austin Blacks?
Overturned. Game on.
Overturned. Game on…
Don’t you love how the people who point fingers at others always use pseudo names. Hey rule follower… Looks like your wish fell through.
Nothing major, just the TRU and Western committees telling their teams that it’s ok to cheat.
