This year we employed the help of no fewer than 25 coaches from every conference across the country to select the 2009 team.
As one would expect, this year’s side is dominated by new national champions BYU and runners-up Cal - between them they field 14 players.
Other schools that are well represented include San Diego State, Army, St Mary’s, Penn State and Arkansas State. They all made impacts in their respective conferences, as well as in the national playoffs.
And as they did last year, Down Under Rugby again will graciously offer one player named to our team a 50% discount on the cost of attending their program in Australia this summer.
Any player on the team can go to www.downunderrugby.com to sign up for the 2009 program and the DUR executives will select one lucky candidate to spend six weeks living and playing rugby in Sydney at half price.
ARN and Down Under Rugby congratulate all players named to our team for having completed an outstanding year. All are thoroughly deserving.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to each and every one of the coaches who took the time and made the effort to help select this year’s team.
