(Paid subscription is required.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited for the opportunity to go to Nationals with this team again,\u201d Alex Wormer said. \u201cI went a couple years ago as the 13th man (injury reserve) and got limited playing time in that tournament where we lost in the championship game. So I\u2019m excited for the opportunity to have a bigger role this tournament and hopefully break through the barrier to win the club\u2019s first ever national championship in 7s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wormer had quite the career during his four seasons (\u201915-\u201918) with the Cal Poly Rugby Club. For the 2016 season \u2014 in addition to four other Cal Poly Mustangs \u2014 Wormer was a D1A Rugby All-American Honorable Mention for 15s. Wormer was also named first-team All-Conference for the California Conference in 2016, and received second-team All-Conference honors for the California Conference in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wormer and the Denver Barbarians will play three matches on Saturday, Aug. 10. The first match will be against the Atlanta Old White at 10 a.m. PST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll I know about these teams is from the limited film I\u2019ve been able to get my hands on,\u201d Wormer said. \u201cBut any time there\u2019s only a 16-team tournament all of the teams will be quality. We are expecting very competitive games against good teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roster and starting lineup for the Barbarians is as follows:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Cal Poly Rugby standout Alex Wormer and the Denver Barbarians 7s team have advanced to the USA Rugby Club 7s National Championship tournament.
