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.
