Stephanie it was an honor playing you two times. You were a great player. My prayers are with your family and friends. We had a moment of silence for you at our game today against OU.
I played Rugby in South Texas, and at Bloodfest at Texas A&M, my deepest sympathy and prayers. Once a Rugger Always a Rugger.

Prayers and thought go out to family and friends.
parents of girls in rugby should speak out against fields that are not well maintained and green. I have watched many games played from hard and dried out fields that were not fit to play on. there should be a standard for field quality because rugby is rough sport. parents of ladies in rugby should stand up and put their foot down on field conditions
