Saturday’s third consecutive win in Rio Grande Union competition assured the Santa Fe Rugby Club a berth in the Southwest Rugby Union playoffs in Phoenix, AZ April 29-30. The Santos traveled to El Paso, TX for their second lopsided win over the Scorpions in as many weeks, 62 to 27. On April 8 in Santa Fe it was Santos 50, Scorpions 20, and prior to that the Santos downed arch arch-rival Albuquerque Aardvarks 60-36 on April 1.
Los Santos rebounded from the COVID pandemic to kick off their 51st year with the addition of several talented graduates of New Mexico colleges, transfers from other men’s clubs, and local athletes new to the game of rugby. Coach Richard Morris and his men will prepare for the Southwest playoffs the next two Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Municipal Recreation rugby field at 6:00 pm.
