Cal Rugby Defeats BYU to Win the 2016 Varsity Cup!

Is this the year that our sturdy Golden Bears can triumph over the BYU Cougars for our first Varsity Cup title? [Update: YES!]

Where: Provo, UT

When: 1 pm PT

TV: NBC Sports Network

The Golden Bears (19-2) will face the daunting task of beating BYU (22-0) at their home to win the Bears' first Varsity Cup title in school history. Since the Varsity Cup (recently sponsored by Penn Mutual who also sponsor the Collegiate Rugby Championship - the rugby 7s tournament that will take place a month from now on June 5th-6th from just outside Philadelphia) was started by basically the Bears and BYU in 2013, the two rugby powerhouses have played for the title every year.
