The Saint Paul Pigs Summer Touring Side was back in action at the Stuart Daily Memorial 10’s Rugby Tournament hosted by the Wisconsin Rugby Club in Madison this weekend. After a long morning drive, the Pigs were unable to shake off the rust and were defeated by a young and quick UW-Madison side. After a quick 20 minute rest, the Pigs faced the Madison Minotaurs. Our game plan came together quickly, and the Pigs soundly defeated the Minotaurs by the score of 42-0. The final match of the afternoon pitted the Pigs against the WRC VOMITs. The Pigs played tough against these wily veterans, but a few defensive lapses found the Pigs defeated by the eventual tournament finalists. Despite our 1-2 record, we played well and a good time was had by all. Thanks to the WRC for a well-run tournament!
