The Yale Men’s Rugby team recently defeated major rivals Harvard University 46-5 to retain the Cormack Cup for the third consecutive year. The Bulldogs capped their 2024 autumn season with an impressive 8-3 record, with their three narrow losses decided by a combined margin of just 11 points—a testament to the team’s competitiveness and resilience in every match.
The team are now taking a well-deserved winter break before turning their focus to an exciting tour in Argentina and the challenges of the upcoming spring season, including the Koranda Cup and Collegiate 7s season.
