How much will Navy's Physical Fitness play into the Rugby Match?
I went to the BYU vs. Dartmouth match and stayed for the first half of the Navy vs. Texas game.

When the teams marched onto the pitch and lined up for introductions you could see that the Midshipmen where in way better shape then the Longhorn players.
Not knowing anything about either team I predicted then that Navy would win, just because they would probably have more strength to keep on playing at the end of the game.

Are BYU's players in good shape? If Navy is in better physical condition will BYU have to play smart Rugby and use talent and skill to win? If Navy keeps it close will they have the advantage at the end of the game?

One thing I found interesting, talking to a few Midshipmen on the Rugby B team I asked them how they had time to play sports with everything else they had to do. I was told that Sports was built into the schedule and every Midshipmen had to participate in a sport, either intramural or NCAA.
