Three weeks after the epic showdown between their highly-ranked basketball teams, the Wake Forest and University of North Carolina men's rugby teams face off on Saturday at 1pm on Poteat Field. Carolina and Wake both showed well at the ACI tournament two weeks ago in Tallahassee and Saturday's match should be a good one. Both teams will use the match as a warmup for their league seasons, which kick off next weekend. UNC is lead by a very young and very talented backline, with Scottish freshmen flyhalf Gregor MacLennan running the show. Their forwards are anchored by sophomore flanker Alex Lee and senior prop and captain Jackson Paterno. Wake also boasts a young backline, with three freshman expected to start on Saturday against the Tar Heels.
Prior to the main event on Saturday, the Chapel Hill Highlanders and Triad Youth Rugby Club will play a U-19 match.
