5/22/2010 Assistant Referee: USA Rugby Western Playoffs

I was pleased to be invited, but the conditions were not conducive to good rugby. I was an AR for six games, a mixture of D1, D2, and D3. Nobody really performed well - it was way too hot humid. Two referees went to the hospital with heart issues from the heat. Not enough ARs to cover the amount of games.

It was good to see the top level of club rugby - and many USA players that I have admired, but the weather was just good for rugby.
