Rugby kicks are much longer than NFL field goals. While they are not contested, the kicker must be quick enough to catch the ball and make a touchdown, but not so quick that he or she is hit in the face. Rugby kicks are a complex sport that requires a lot more training. You need to be able run, pass, and tackle. You do not need a helmet to play football. Additionally, you don't have time to breathe.
Five Gamecocks starters weren't available last year. Avery Darnell (and Michael Rudzinsky) were also injured. The hamstring injury that also cost them their wing player led to the team losing their wing. But they still managed to win the Southeastern Rugby Championship, their second consecutive victory.
Clemson, South Carolina and North Carolina haven't played each other in several years. This game will be a prelude for their upcoming ACC series matchup in Clemson University. Both teams expect to lose at most a few of their roster players. The Gamecocks are early favorites for the ACC title after a 9-2 fall campaign.
The Gamecocks were able to start the second half with renewed enthusiasm despite losing two their most successful try scorers. Brian Keown got Carolina on the board with a kick through the uprights. Virginia Tech and North Carolina were also within ten points, and Virginia Tech won.
Furman was the wind in their sails during the first half. They scored three attempts. It gave Furman a lead of 15-0 at intermission. Five minutes into the second half, Furman added another penalty.
The Wolfpack responded to the call with an unconverted outside attempt. Carolina missed a penalty kick within the final seven minutes. But that was not their final miscue. Despite their miscues they showed great strength and secured a few field goals.
Since 1998, Furman has held a 8-7 lead over the Gamecocks in series. John Roberts, Coach of the Gamecocks Club for three years, was their president. He also has a long connection to the program.
Dana Corcoran, a junior, is from Charleston, SC and plays flanker. He was an outstanding player on the defense line during last year's conference. Since he was out of the team due to an offsite medical issue, junior Jared Magill replaced him.
Clemson recently increased rugby's intensity over the past week. The Wolfpack forced the Gamecocks into penalties deep inside their territory. Although the Wolfpack couldn't get the desired result they wanted, the Wolfpack played strong. It presented a daunting challenge to the Gamecocks’ field possessions, scrums, and field possessions.
Dana Corcoran was hurt in the first ten minute by a stray kick. Drew Busbee, Joejuan William, and Max Simons helped him.
The Panthers' victory was their first over a Division I opponent, but it was their third consecutive against a Division I team. They also will compete in the North Zone Championships in Atlanta in March and will play Mexico's national team in the 39th Annual Ruggerfest in Florida.
