The game is scheduled to be played at 12 p.m at Snow College. The team got much needed experience from the Utah Game and a recent scrimmage with the United Rugby team this past Saturday. The UVU coaches have expressed that the experience from these last two games to be crucial before the first playoff indicating game for the Wolverines. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Practices for the last few days have been very intense for the team including a great deal of conditioning especially on Monday despite the harsh weather. The players were pushed to run, tackle, run tackle, and then run some more. The team looked united, disciplined, and composed throughout the heavy conditioning. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The team was fortunate to have Nate Mathis (Assistant Athletic Director) attend practice on Tuesday. He was able to talk to the UVU players for a few minutes expressing his personal support and that of the Wolverine Athletic Department for the UVU Rugby team and the team's goal of becoming National Champions. The team would like to thank Nate Mathis and the Athletic Department for their support.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The team has also had the opportunity to work together with Dan Herbas a UVU RUGBY Alum to create commercials for the team. This has been a great opportunity to help get the team some on campus and overall exposure. UVU Rugby thanks Dan Herbas and all who contributed to the UVU RUGBY COMMERCIAL.

UTAH Pre-Season<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>UVU Rugby is excited to announce the beginning of the 2009-2010 season with a preseason game against in state rivals University Utah Utes. This is the Wolverines first live and full speed playing opportunity since the 2008-2009 playoffs in Florida. We were able to speak with one of the UVU's newest addition to the coaching staff William Fale.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Concerning what UVU Rugby's goal's are going into the game he said, " We have a lot of new guys this year and the primary goal is simplicity. The simple things are important as our players gain experience especially on defense. " He continued to say that he hopes to see his players execute their new defensive schemes.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Concerning the UVU Offensive approach Fale stated, " Offensively we continued with the theme of simplicity. We have a couple patterns that we will use on Saturday and that is about it so far. We just want to see the ball recycled using proper technique: that is the experience that the team needs now." Despite the number of new players Fale was still very confident with the team as he shared, " I know I said we have a lot of inexperience but there is even more new raw talent and athleticism that we are really excited to see progress as the season continues."</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The game will be held at The University of Utah on Baliff Field located at 200 South 1850 East Salt Lake City, Ut 84112 at 12 p.m for the first game and a second game following right after.

Just recently the rugby team hosted a fundraiser in conjunction with Obsession Motoworks (http://www.obsessionmoto.com). This was a really great time for everyone that were present and donated to the team. The main attraction was the bikini bike and car wash that was made available by some of UVU Rugby's biggest fans. The main attraction was also coupled with a barbecue that was hosted by the UVU Rugby team.<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><img src="webkit-fake-url://CE2FE689-17A2-42C5-8DE1-0911BFEF3BE4/obsessionmotowr1.jpg" alt="obsessionmotowr1.jpg" /></p> Throughout the bike washing, car washing, and eating there were several live bike stunt shows. These were performed by some of the best bike stunt men in Utah who willingly displayed their skills on bullet bikes, ATV's, and even pocket bikes. There were tons of people in attendance that just stopped by to watch the stunts that were being performed in the parking lot of Obsession Motoworks. The fundraiser was a huge success and a good amount of money was raised top help the team be a success throughout the 2009-2010 Collegiate Rugby Season. We would like to thank Obsession Motoworks for their continual support to UVU RUGBY. Thanks also to Kris Ricks and Mo for organizing the fundraiser for the team.<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><img src="webkit-fake-url://E3BDB54C-674A-4280-A3EB-805686527432/photo.php.jpg" alt="photo.php.jpg" /></p><div>There is also an update to team's practice hours for those interested in playing or just training together with the team.
