The Magee Eagles will host a scrimmage in Philadelphia on January 8-10.  This event is open to all rugby players (.5 to 3.5).  This will be a no-frills rugby weekend.  The scrimmage games will be refereed by veteran players, there will be no trophies and no t-shirts.  What we will have is plenty of good rugby action for everyone that comes.   If you plan to attend, please RSVP so we know how many players are coming.  You can either register as an individual or register a team.  The fees are $50 per player or $300 for a team.
