  • Up to four (4) players who played in a Lower Division Qualifying Match may be listed as RESERVE PLAYERS for the Upper Division Qualifying Match(es), if at least one of those players is a front row specialist.

 

  1. Schedule loading into RX and WTR
  1. McPhail: All matches that were to be loaded as part of the master schedule have been. All changes or prior errors need to be managed via the Match Change form (website).  Hansel will typically update RX and Ozzie is monitoring / managing WTR.
  2. Norton: Does the match change form automatically go to both Hansel and Ozzie? How are we ensuring RX and WTR are in sync?
  3. McPhail/Ozzie: Yes. Notice goes to both and is typically reviewed every 2-3 days for updates.

 

  1. Update XVs Competitions tab on TRU website:
  1. McPhail: All, please review your respective Divisions for accuracy and send updates to Wendy for posting ASAP.
  2. MD1: Scheduled for May 4th, same dates as GCSR in Austin. Need to be included as part of that schedule.  Otherwise it may be difficult to pull TRRA resources away from GCSR to a different location.  Request MD1 to confirm location of this match to be at GCSR or at higher seed? (TBC Norton / Dale).
  3. MD2: Last call there was a request to Hanlon and Horn to update the TRU comps page as the structure is outdated and needs updating based on the current approved format. Completion date? Link to Statement

McPhail: As previously discussed the branding was discussed on last month’s call and the first weekend has been posted to FB / Instagram.  Michael Norton continues to lead the group and a call was held yesterday (Dec-10th) to discuss challenges from the last match and continue to move the branding forward. This includes growing “followers” and ensuring branding is updated on TRU website. 
  1. McPhail: Link to D1 Premiership logo above for RRRC and TRU.

  2. Only one of them has expressed interest to take on a leadership role for the upcoming season being Arnal Prasad of San Antonio. Arnal’s Rugby CV was shared with RRRC during Conf Call.

 

  1. New Business:
  1. Travis: We’d talked about requiring all D2 clubs to have a second side. Discussion on requirements to be in D1/D2/D3 in conjunction with Promotion & Relegation Policy.
    1. D2 A/B- Historical aspect to having D2 sides have a B side. The idea is to raise the standard of D2. The discussion happened with D2 clubs prior to 23-24 and had a 9-1 vote in favor of moving towards the D2 requirement of having a second side for 2024-25 season. 
  2. Corpus Christi – Non played forfeit away match against Old Skool. Need to discuss return match / sanctions?
    1. Travis will communicate with CC and give a recommendation to RRRC. 
    2. Could be an ongoing issue with CC this season and will be communicating with them. 
  3. Request from D1 Men’s clubs to have 2024 Referee Guidelines published and have TRRA match officials attend local training to work on technical guidance & interpretations for this season.
    1. 2024 Game Management Guidelines were shared by USAR earlier in the year 
    2. Kat Roche has been posting her webinars to youtube- teams can go check them out. Get them on Kat’s youtube page- https://www.youtube.com/@katroche282
  4. Houston Sabercats & Dallas RFC – schedule change / conflict discussion (exec session).
    1. John Dale to lead a committee on decision as a nonvoting facilitator. Gordon, Blake, KC as voting members. 
  5. Atlantis USA Sevens – Congrats to Nick Argy (Sabercats 2) & Dan Whetzel (HURT).  Both played key roles in the success of Atlantis at the Grenada World Sevens Tournament.  Nick was a member of the men’s side that won the championship and Dan was an assistant coach / manager for the women’s team that finished second.
  6. New Club Admin site shared with club admins. Please let Hansel know any updates. 
  7. Norton: Approved competitive matches count towards national pathway eligibility. The Blacks have two matches that have been approved. This is to cover for our lesser match count this season. How do we track player eligibility in RX? How about we create a copy of “TRU Friendly” comp called “TRU Approved Competitive” or similar to classify matches?
    1. Hansel will contact USA Rugby to see how to track this in RX. 
    2. Gordon: Does this count towards the RRRC Championship as well? 
    3. McPhail and Norton have discussed the document and raised a couple of items for further clarification to USA Eligibility Chair for confirmation.  Once USAR Eligibility responds, a “summary” of the highlights will be shared / posted and added to next month’s agenda for full RRRC discussion.
  8. Adjournment.
