Wasatch Cup is coming! (press release about their sponsors)

You have to be kidding me. I just read that the Utah v. BYU rugby match last year at Rio Tinto stadium had over 7,500 people in attendance, that's amazing. I am so excited to be there and to cover the action with a press pass! This game will be for the Wasatch Cup and it's a bitter rivalry.

With a little more than two weeks until the game (don't forget about the UVU game in between there), the Wasatch Cup has announced this years sponsors - Zions Bank, Utah National Guard and Humless.

To find out more read the press release pasted below - but get your tickets because it's going to be an intense rugby match from start to finish.

Tickets price set for rugby; BYU vs. UVU - $3

So - the men's rugby team will play UVU in about ten days. That is the last game before the will meet with rival Utah in the competition for the Wasatch Cup.

This final warm-up for BYU will be a great first chance for BYU students to see their 2011 rugby team. It is bound to be an exciting game with lots of scoring (since BYU's first team hasn't scored under 60 points this season).

I'm also excited to see the competition that UVU brings to the field. Utah attracts a lot of great rugby players from all over the world and it'll be interesting to see how UVU matches up against powerhouse BYU.

I will be interviewing BYU players and coaches leading up to the game. Check back regularly to see updates and coverage on the game.
