Christopher Pugh began playing rugby in the Spring of 2013 at the University of Texas at San Antonio, when he saw a recruiting table in front of the UTSA Sombrilla. They were holding practice that afternoon, he decided to give the sport a try & he never looked back. He played at UTSA for 4 years before graduating in 2016 and transitioning to the senior men’s level and played two seasons with Alamo City Rugby Football Club.

Before his final season as a player, Christopher took his L1 course in July 2017 because he knew the writing was on the wall as injuries started piling up but he wasn’t ready to give up this that he loved. Christopher Pugh quickly left his mark across the state, refereeing numerous matches from McAllen to Dallas, and everywhere in between. In 2023, he was selected to the Regional Development Group by USA Rugby. In 2024 he was asked to join the board as the Secretary, to give his opinion on matters as well as take notes for the board during meetings & later took on the role as social media manager.

Cesar Herrera began his rugby journey in 1991, quickly developing a passion for the sport that would carry through every stage of his life. While serving in the U.S. military, Cesar continued his playing career overseas in Europe and later with the Bragg Rugby Football Club, where he combined his dedication to service with his love for the game.

In 2011, Cesar transitioned into refereeing full time with the Southeast Rugby Referee Society, where he honed his craft and became a respected official. His military career then brought him to Texas in 2017, when he was transferred from Fort Bragg, NC, to Fort Sam Houston, TX. There, he continued his service to rugby through the Texas Rugby Referee Association (TRRA).

Cesar has held multiple leadership positions within Bragg Rugby and TRRA, including Vice Chair, Central TRRA Representative, and Coach Match Official (CMO). His experience as both a player and referee has made him a well rounded leader and mentor, committed to developing referees and supporting the growth of rugby at every level.

Justin X. Hale began his rugby journey in 2008 as a high school player in Dallas, Texas, where he quickly developed a lifelong passion for the sport. In 2017, after being recruited by Scott Green, he transitioned into refereeing—initially as a way to earn extra income but soon as a calling that deepened his connection to the game. His officiating career has since taken him through the Lonestar Rugby Referee Society and the Texas Rugby Referee Association (TRRA), with standout assignments including RugbyTown 7s, Club Nationals 7s, and XVs Nationals.

Alongside refereeing, Justin has dedicated himself to developing the rugby community through leadership and coaching. He has served as a Rugby Development Officer (RDO), coached men’s rugby with O.R.C., and guided high school athletes with Rock Rugby, shaping the next generation of players with his knowledge and passion. His commitment to mentorship and development reflects his core belief in standing up for what is right and building a positive, resilient rugby culture.

Off the field, Justin brings the same creativity and problem-solving mindset to his role as a product designer at Red Hat. Balancing his professional career with his service to rugby, he continues to make a meaningful impact both as a referee and a leader, embodying integrity, passion, and community at every stage of his journey.
