DeKALB — With many players coming in, the men’s rugby club will focus on teaching the game and instilling the culture of rugby in its players Head coach Nolan Day said.
Day said the team is pretty inexperienced, with only 12 returning players, but the plan is to build up experience for the younger players.
Despite the lack of experience, Day said he is confident the team will be able to make the playoffs in the Great Midwestern Conference.
Club director Rich Egel, a long-time player of the game, said rugby is a rare sport with an interesting culture.
