Last weekend in Las Vegas, the BYU Men’s Rugby team downed Penn State, 64-12, and Missouri, 101-0. The weekend prior, our boys pulled a hat-trick, defeating Central Washington, 76-7, the University of Washington, 48-5, and Old Puget Sound, 19-15.
So, the nation’s No. 1 college rugby team has now gone 5-0 as usual, and there’s no coverage in BYU’s primary news source? Really? Not even a tiny paragraph on the last page? Not even a sentence with five Ws in it? Please. They deserve better than that.
Sure, I know rugby isn’t primetime fodder for most, but believe it or not, a growing fan base here at BYU and abroad would like to be kept in the know about BYU’s most successful sports team. After all, last year’s National Championship match in Rio Tinto Stadium had 12,000-plus fans in attendance, mostly all from BYU, and this year could be even bigger and better with a national-title win for the Cougars.
