NRU Collegiate Men's All-Stars
NYS Rugby Represented by Four Athletes

Under perfect conditions in Albany, 33 players participated in six practices and a full match over three days at the Northeast Rugby Union (NRU) Collegiate All-Star tryouts. All players represented their LAU and teams in an exemplary manner.

NYS Rugby was represented by Andrew Chang (St. Bonaventure), Brian Ries (Buffalo), Emerson Smith (Buffalo State), and Benny Vunibobo (Canisius). Ron Astrdige served as team manager and Mike Hodgins was the NYS Rugby representative. Additional information on the 2004 Northeast Collegiate Men's All-Star selections is available at the team website.

Thanks to all involved at the LAU level for identifying and preparing these players.

The next step is the NCAC in Boulder, CO, June 11,12.
