After struggling to put points on the board against the Chicago Hounds, the New England Free Jacks have an opportunity to get back on track this weekend.
The Free Jacks find themselves against a difficult opponent in the Seattle Seawolves. The Seawolves have lost both their games on the road in the tough Western Conference, and they will be eager to get back on track before their home fans this weekend.
Lots of personnel changes for the Free Jacks, with Jayson Potroz being the only back to retain his starting position among wholesale changes across the squad.
10PM Saturday night is the kickoff from the Seattle area. Live on ESPN+ with the local TV broadcast apparently at 5PM Sunday evening on NBC Sports Boston.

Feb 19, 2025 The Free Jacks provided an entertaining start to the season, coming out of LA with a 24-17 win. Both teams seemed to be in mid-season form, with lots of running rugby and very little kicking. Speaking of kicking, did you see the end of Old Glory’s game with Miami? With the clock in the red, and with possession, all Miami had to do was kick the ball dead, but they were unable to do so. Unreal. At least Miami will have a chance to redeem itself this weekend with a tussle against NOLA, while the Free Jacks will wait another week before they travel to Chicago to take on the Hounds.

Feb 14, 2025. MLR season kicks off this weekend. More on the questionable (IMO) decision to move games to ESPN+ later, but we will see how the early weeks go. Cuddle up for Valentine’s weekend and watch the rugby action.

Apologies for the very long delay in updates. Hopefully in 2025 we will get back on track.
