At just 17, Mikle Dill has proved that no one is too young to represent their country on the rugby field. Not only did the teenager represent the Bermuda men’s team at this month’s international Ariel Re Bermuda Sevens tournament, he also claimed the honor of being the competition’s top try scorer.

Now is the time to sign up for the 2016 URugby Sevens Virginia Beach featuring the American Collegiate Rugby Championship Sevens (ACRC7s). This world-class tournament, now in its third year, brings the very best in college rugby to the Virginia Beach Sportsplex April 29-May 1.

In a close, exciting match last week in the Jamaican capital of Kingston, Oklahoma University scored a big victory over the Jamaican National Team 23-20.

Basketball? What basketball? It was all about rugby at the Ariel Re Bermuda 7s in Hamilton, Bermuda this weekend. Friday night saw some great contests as Greenwich High School edged West Chester, Bermuda Rugby and Dartmouth went 3-0 (though Big Green was sorely tested by Stony Brook) and Kutztown racked up 100 points in three victories before the lights dimmed at the National Sports Centre.

The Ariel Re Bermuda 7s begin on Friday, March 18 at 4:30 Bermuda time (3:30 p.m. Eastern). Pool play runs until 9 p.m. (8 p.m. Eastern). Great matches are on tap for Friday, including Dartmouth vs Norwich, Kutztown vs the Boston RFC Collegians, and Notre Dame College vs St. Joes. In addition to high-profile college matchups, the tournament is an opportunity for high school and college-age players from Bermuda to play against top talent from the U.S. 

The Ariel Re Bermuda 7s come to the Bermuda National Sports Center this weekend, March 18-19.

Delaware is back. After nearly two years of exile, the celebrated Blue Hens rugby program returned to active competition last summer and wasted no time reasserting itself on the college rugby scene, notching wins in regional 15s competition and scoring a major victory over Iona at the 2015 ACRC Bowl Series. The comeback effort earned them Men's College Club of the Year honors from Rugby Wrap Up.

The #ACRC7s championship game was a rugby rematch of the 2014 ACRC7s final when AIC upset then-unbeaten Kutztown University to take the URugby #ACRC7s Cup. In 2015 everything was advertised as the two teams warred for possession and no tries came easy in a no-holds-barred contest.

For Boston RFC coach Joe Dolan, the Ariel Re Bermuda 7s is more than just an opportunity to play great rugby in a beautiful setting. It’s part of a beloved tradition.
