Quotable
"Life challenged us the entire game and fought until the final whistle.

It was an incredible start to the spring and we are excited to see where we go from here." – Ben Kelly

"Proud of how the brothers kept composure during a tough close game. The physicality and toughness we brought gave us immense confidence in our ability to beat Life and set the tone for how Army Rugby will play this spring."- Collin Grosse
