On Saturday June 18th, the Wisconsin Girls Rugby HS All Stars, coached by Jeff Noe traveled north to compete against Minnesota's select program. Playing 15s on a perfectly sunny and 62 degree Saturday, the girls won 60-21. Congrats to all the players who made the commitment to represent their state and to offer our northern neighbors an opportunity to learn and play more 15's. Every girl who attended played and contributed. For those unfamiliar with Coach Noe, he is one of the best and most experienced coaches in the Midwest having coached with Kettle Moraine girls, the USA u20s, Midwest select programs, and the NSCRO 7s All Stars, in addition to Winona St men's rugby.
Many thanks for Rugby Minnesota for playing 15's in an effort to get more kids playing. Much of their league has shrunk the last few years and several teams have been playing 10s.
The "Trophy" is uniquely Midwest:
