Brujos kick off 2020 spring season vs Adams State this weekend.
Rugby season is here at last! The New Mexico Brujos will travel to Alamosa, Colorado this Saturday, February 22nd, to take on the Adams State Grizzlies for a friendly season opener. Coming off an up and down fall season that saw the Brujos lose their union season opener but take home the championship at the 2019 High Desert tournament, the Brujos will look to hit the pitch running this spring. With only 2 weeks to go until their first Rio Grande Rugby Union spring games, this should provide an excellent opportunity to knock the rust off and work out the kinks. So make the short three and a half hour drive north on 285 and come support the boys in blue. Saturday is a rugby day and blue magic is in the air!
Sandia 7s Rugby Tournament Coming in May
The New Mexico Brujos are very excited to announce the first annual Sandia 7s Rugby Tournament. Premiering May 30th, 2020 in the shadow of the glorious Sandia Mountains, this men's and women's tournament hopes to capitalize on the 20 years of success that the old Celtic 7s tournament provided. This tournament will provide an excellent warm up opportunity for men's and women's teams going into the summer 7's tournament season. We look forward to announcing more details in the coming weeks and months. Save the date, we'll see you on the pitch in May!
Spring Practice Has Begun!
The 2020 Spring season begins in March, and that means it's finally practice time! Practice is every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 PM at UNM's Johnson Field throughout the spring season. Practice starts at 6 PM, that means cleats on and ready to go at 6 PM! Everyone is welcome, all levels of rugby experience!
No matter if this will be your first look at rugby or your 50th season, we want you coming out to practice with the New Mexico Brujos RFC, and, as always bring a friend along!
All you need is some athletic wear and soccer style cleats.
Go big in 2020, go blue!
