With the A-side squad resting for nationals, the B-side Falcon rugby club lost to Eastern Suburbs on Saturday.
BG decided to rest its starters because the national tournament is approaching in a few weeks. The team has been banged up all season long and forced to move guys around in the lineup to fill holes due to injuries.
Eastern Suburbs, a senior men’s squad, is a team with several former BG players. A-side was looking forward to some good, hardnosed rugby, which both teams take a great pride in during the game.
BG will be back in action this Saturday at home against Central Michigan. It is unknown if the A-side will play in the game, as the team will travel to Madison, Wisconsin the following week for the Sweet Sixteen.
