In case you missed it, our guy Chandler Owens started the Collegiate Rugby Shield off with a bang right out of the gates as he sent this kick into orbit that turned into an 80+ meter flip of the field. Under the new “50/22” law, this resulted in the lineout being awarded to Chandler’s team, which they turned into a try off of a maul. Brandon Sparks, the general manager for the Utah Warriors Rugby called Chandler’s kick the play of the game. This game is now available to watch for free on The Rugby Network! Chandler had a great game and we are excited to see what’s next for him! #RockChalk

POV: You wake up on a crisp Fall morning. It’s a Saturday and the Jayhawks are playing rugby today. You get to load up the car and come spend an afternoon with your friends and family out at one of the best damn college rugby venues in the country. Life is good. #ROCKCHALK #FAMILY

We had a great time hosting high school players from @stjamesrugby and @stasaintsrugby last night for some touch rugby, grilling out and a few appearances by the Lister family goats. Huge thanks to the high school lads who gave up one of their summer nights to come play some rugby, and a massive thanks to Ryan & Bridget Lister for hosting us and letting us use their land for some footy. We are wanting to host another one of these sessions before the end of summer, so be on the lookout for more information. Once again, all high school players are welcome regardless of the college you plan on attending. #growthegame #ROCKCHALK #FAMILY

Chandler will be hitting the pitch alongside some of the best college rugby players in the nation to showcase his skills in front of @usmlr coaches and scouts ahead of the Major League Rugby combine at the end of July, and Draft in August. He will head to Utah for a camp starting June 28th leading up to the game, and you can catch him in action live on @fs1 at 6:00CT on Saturday, July 2nd! After this, Chandler plans on attending another camp in Colorado on July 15-16, and then the MLR combine in Wisconsin on July 30th.

In the midst of our most successful season on the field, our guys stayed focused in the classroom as well. An impressive 23 Jayhawks finished the year with at least a 3.0 GPA, including a perfect 4.0 from Cian Kasten. We take pride in making sure our guys know the importance of academics, even if it conflicts with rugby, and we actively encourage players to put school first. This semester in particular when we were playing a lot of important rugby and asking a bit more from our guys than normal, we really pushed to make sure their school work was getting taken care of in a timely manner. Their maturity, time management and commitment to making both things work really showed and we appreciate the hard work of all of our guys. Well done, lads! #ROCKCHALK #FAMILY
