Hi fans! Took a bit of a break to allow Colby to pursue his dream of playing professional rugby and Zach to pursue his dream of living in a cabin alone in Maine.

We are moving to one episode a week so we will include our top 3 takeaways from the week prior as well as previews of matches that we're looking forward to in the coming days. PLUS we debut our new LOCK IT UP segment where Colby and myself each pick a team that we GUARANTEE will win their matchup on the week.

We are SO CLOSE to fall rugby, folks, and a great sign of that is PRE-SEASON RANKING RELEASES. Zach and Colby take a look at the top ten D1 teams that play under National Collegiate Rugby (NCR). Of course Iona is on that list so most of the pod is Colby talking about that, but Zach does get a word in edgewise eventually. Apologies for Zach's audio quality, he has since tossed his microphone off of his 17th floor balcony. Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
