This tournament is a spontaneous creation of St. Joe's head coach Shags Yarusso to help a fellow program in a bind. An event this coming Saturday at Navy was canceled.

This video is worth watching for all who coach rugby tackling. The methods and techniques are awesome—well thought out and well presented. Even though they are about football the video is a must-see for all rugby players coaches and trainers.
