The '25 - '26 season is already here! There is a lot going on in the 417 rugby community. Let's get into it!

The Queen City Chaos officially opened up their fall season on the road in Wichita. Unfortunately it wasn't the result they wanted falling 72 - 5 to the Valkyries. The great news is, most of the team was made up of rookies! This experience will help the Chaos add depth for future tests. They'll look to bounce back on September 13th in Columbia against the Black Sheep.
