Despite coming off 5 straight PAC Rugby 7s championships in the fall and 5 Collegiate Rugby Championships National Rugby 7s championships in the spring, Cal Rugby is facing some new challenges this year with the graduation of Russell Webb, Anthony Salaber, and Patrick Barrientes - all three are big contributors on nearly all 10 of those rugby 7s championships mentioned.
Of course, plenty of the current Bears were also there for many of these championships, not to mention all the rugby talent that matriculate at Cal every year. Cal fans will get a chance to see how the not-as-familiar-squad do on the Pac-12 Networks today with the semifinal and final of the 2017 PAC Rugby 7s championships being broadcasted live.
