Off-season Club
Movement Reveals Revamped
Conferences and Renewed Rivalries
DALLAS
(Nov. 2, 2005) – Today, the Rugby
Super League released its 2006
regular season matches and playoff
dates. The schedule continues to
fuel regional rivalries that RSL
fans demand, such as: Old Blue vs.
defending champion NYAC (Week 4),
PAC vs. Washington (Week 4), OMBAC
vs. Belmont Shore (Week 5) and the
renewed rivalry of St. Louis vs. the
Kansas City Blues (Week 6).
Recently, the league welcomed both
the St. Louis Bombers and the
Charlotte RFC to its current
competitive format. Off-season club
movements forced the league to then
realign its Western and Eastern
Conferences, placing the Charlotte
RFC in the East and moving the
Kansas City Blues and the St. Louis
Bombers to the West.

"The

schedule have each of our teams
eagerly
marking
off the days until the first week of
regular season play on March 18th,
said RSL Chairman Keith Engelbrecht.
“The expanded reach of the RSL and
the 2006 schedule
have all of us believing that the
league’s 10th season will be its
greatest.” The location of the RSL
Championship match will be announced
at a later date.
