The Saint Mary's Gaels are reloaded for another big season in 2020, as they try to make it back to the D1A national title game for the first time since 2017.

On Saturday they'll see their first real test of the year when they take on the Life West men at home in Moraga, California. 

Watch Saint Mary's take on Life West this Saturday, Dec. 28th at 1:00 pm (PT) on FloRugby!

The Gaels played in the national championship five straight years from 2013-2017, winning thrice, before falling in the 2018 quarterfinals to Lindenwood and the 2019 semifinals to Cal. 

This year they look to once again be one of the nation's best teams, despite the departure of some key figures like No. 8 Vili Helu and scrumhalf Sean Yacoubian. 


Saint Mary's have arguably the best front row in the country, anchored by outstanding props Payton Talea and Joe Marchant. In the second row, athletic specimen Ronan Murphy leads the way, and in the back row freshman No. 8 Miles McCormick already looks like a future All-American.


The backline features one of the nation's very best center pairings with the experienced and electric duo of Tavite Lopeti and Aaron Matthews. At the back, sophomore Eddie King is also one of the best fullbacks in the business. 

If there's any question marks surrounding the Gaels, it's the inexperience of flyhalf Karl Keane, but the freshman was one of the nation's best high school players a year ago and has all the tools you need to be a top-rate playmaker.
