Rugby Coming To South Alabama?
Hint: The answer is “Yes.” Though there are several things still in the works, and details are very sparse at this time, it seems Rugby is coming to South with matches starting as early as this coming fall. This is still undergoing preliminary development as a club sport at this time. For more information, you can visit the Rugby booth at JagFest coming up on August 21st. The official website is coming soon, but you can likely keep tabs on southalabamarugby.com for more information as it becomes available.
