Our first freshman of the fall 15s season has been named SISU player of the month and it is Liam “Tuna” Clancy. Liam joined Michigan rugby early in the season and has put his speed and agility gained from years of playing basketball to use by scoring four tries against Iowa’s academy side. Liam is certainly a player to watch for the future and we can’t wait to see what he does the rest of the 15s season and how he will do in sevens. Congrats Liam!
