Texas A&M Men's Rugby Bounces Back with Convincing win 9/28/25
As the Texas A&M Men’s Rugby Club looked to bounce back following their Notre Dame trip, Texas State stood in their way. Knowing what was at stake, the team went to work, and had a decisive 70-10 victory! Here is a quote from Coach Jacob Tai:
I was very pleased with the level of physicality our team brought to the field tonight. It’s been a major point of emphasis in training, and it was encouraging to see the players embrace that challenge. For several of our guys, this was their first-ever rugby match, and they showed tremendous heart and commitment. While there are areas around the breakdown that need improvement, I’m confident in our ability to build each week and position ourselves to accomplish some significant goals this season.

Texas A&M Men's Rugby Suffers first loss of the season
Off the heels of a strong home showing against Baylor, the Aggies looked to continue their dominance on the road against Notre Dame. Unfortunately, the club fell short and suffered their first loss of the season 12-38. Here is a quote from captain Jake Foster:
This trip clearly did not have the result that we wanted, but there are a lot of positive takeaways still. The boys gave great effort for the full game, and there were some glimpses of really spectacular rugby. Now is when we go back to work. We have great film to look at, and some obvious things to work on as a team, and it is safe to say we will be better because of this match. The focus now is how we can take these lessons and improve from them.
TEXAS A&M MEN'S RUGBY DEFEATS BAYLOR 85-6
In their first match of the season, the Fighting Texas Aggie Men’s Rugby Club defeats Baylor in a dominant 85-6 score match. Here is what coach Tui Osborne has to say about the match:
Our first home game in the Lone Star Conference was a great way to start the season, with the men putting up 85 points to 6 against Baylor. More than the scoreline, I’m proud of how we stuck to the goals we set before the match. Jace Hernandez and Ethan Scott really showed how dominant they can be, and we’re excited to see them continue to grow this season. Jake Foster, our captain, led from the front and it showed with our pack having a good first hit out.
As a staff, we know there’s still plenty of work ahead to prepare these athletes for the rest of our matches. We’re on the road this weekend against Notre Dame, and we’re looking forward to the challenge of a tough matchup.
Texas A&M Men's Rugby to Join NCR
In a full conference vote, the Lonestar conference, which Texas A&M Men’s Rugby Club recently joined, has decided to move from CRAA to NCR. The Aggies hope that this will be a huge turn for the club, as they look to follow new Head Coach Tui Osborne’s lead into the end of the CRC 7s Season, and the new XVs season in the fall.
