I played rubgy for Xavier and was a member of Coach Mike Tolkin's first rugby team.

Most people don't understand how good Xavier's rugby team is. They are THE best high school rugby program in the United States.

Great job Dylan

I am not 100% sure but I don't remember St. John's having rugby...   I have been involved with the sport since 1988.

If they have had it, they have never been what you would consider terrific..

Xavier High School won the Northeast High School Rugby Championship last weekend.

They now move on to the National High School Championships to be held in Pittsburgh, PA starting May 15th.
