Heart and hustle in Spring Hill. 🏉

​Our HS Boys left it all on the pitch today in a gritty, physical battle. While we fell 29-19 in the end, the scoreboard doesn’t reflect the massive heart and relentless pressure Knoxville brought to every phase of the game.
​Proud of the resilience and the brotherhood shown today. We take the lessons, we hit the practice pitch, and we keep building. 📈

Big Win at Tennessee Rugby Park! 🐾🏉
​The KYR Hounds showed up and showed out today! Under the sun at Tennessee Rugby Park, the Hounds delivered a dominant performance against the Raptors B side, walking off the pitch with a convincing 38-12 victory.

​It was a total team effort—hard-hitting defense, clinical ex*****on in the scrums, and lightning-fast chemistry in the backline. This win sets a massive tone for what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable season.

​Think you’ve got what it takes? Or maybe you’ve never touched a rugby ball but want to start?
