At this time, Dartmouth leads in the Men’s rankings with 9 points (2 games played) followed by Cornell with 6 points (3 games played). Brown (2 GP), Princeton (1 GP) and Yale (2 GP) (in this order) have the same number of points: 5. Harvard (2 GP) and Penn (3 GP) have both 4 points while Columbia (1 GP) seems to not be doing so well until now with only 1 point.

 

Dartmouth (3 GP) leads in the Women’s Tier 1 rankings with 15 points. They are followed by Harvard (2 GP) with 6, Princeton (1 GP)  5 and Brown (2 GP)  0. In Tier 2, Cornell has 15 points, followed by Yale with 11, Columbia with 1 point and Penn with 0. All team in Tier 2 have 3 games played.

 

It looks like Dartmouth has some of the best rugby teams in the Ivy League. In 2015, Dartmouth won the Men’s and the Women’s competitiona. One year before that, the Men’s championship was once again won by Dartmouth while Brown won the Women’s competition, Dartmouth coming 2nd.
