Rugby is Back!

After taking over a year long hiatus due to the Coronavirus pandemic – rugby is back! The St. Paul Pigs resumed practice beginning on April 8th, 2021. The last time the Pigs played a match was the 2019 Midwest championship vs. Fox Valley RFC; a nail biter of a match that ended in a 13-15 loss and put an end to the Pigs’ national playoff run.

There was still plenty to be proud of about the 2019 fall season, including an undefeated (8-0) regular season, lowest points allowed (only 84 on the season), multiple dominant shut-out wins, winning the State Championship and a win at the Midwest D3 Playoffs.

See video of our match here (taken by Fox Valley): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Q3cRx6SvE

The Pigs have nationals in their sights again this year and preparation starts now.

If you’re looking for a new club to join, feel free to join us at practice and be sure to send us a message via our contact form and we can get your questions answered.

Practice Schedule

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30pm – 8:30pm at Afton Heights Park (unless otherwise communicated).

17th Annual Mike “Buca” Lundberg Tournament

In 2004, the Mike Lundberg Memorial Tournament started as a fun opportunity to play winter rugby for men and women of all skill levels while donating 100% of the proceeds to help defray the costs of Mike’s treatments. Sadly, Mike lost his long battle with Leukemia in 2008. At the request of his family, we have continued the tournament to celebrate his life and help a member of the Minnesota rugby community in need. 

The tournament will be held at Hoffman Park in River Falls, WI on Saturday, March 7th, 2020. Registration begins at 9:30 and the cost is $35 per person. This includes a tournament T-shirt and food and beer at the social after the tournament. Please RSVP by February 17th via our Facebook event or by emailing Ben Hanson at lhprop1@hotmail.com.
