Mizzou rugby alumni together at Ruggerfest 2015 — Ruggerfest 2015 — Doug Littlefield, Kevin Hindes, Steve Kaufmann and “Junkyard” Jim Strecker, reliving, in Don Corwin’s words, “moments of rugby glory and debauchery from the 1980’s.”

From Don Corwin’s posts to the Old Boys group. Of the Notre Dame match, November 8, 2014, he wrote that Mizzou led 26–10 at half before the 22nd-ranked Irish came back to win it 31–29 after the hooter. The sevens photographs are from the Heart of America Collegiate Conference Sevens Championship at Lawrence, Kansas, in April 2015, where a squad of twelve beat KU and Iowa State on a day delayed four hours by lightning.
