ST. GEORGE — Dixie State’s rugby club had a late change in opponent, with Weber State struggling with the weather in northern Utah. But that didn’t slow down the action as the Brothers Rugby Club (Utah alumni) stepped in to give the DSU ruggers a challenge.

St. George News photographer Robert Hoppie was there to capture the action and brings us this photo gallery.
