1. Los Angeles Giltinis (Last Week: 1) Their biggest test yet is on deck. It might not matter. 2. Austin Gilgronis (LW: 2) The bye keeps them here. If they can take their show on the road, it'll be a statement to the rest of the league. 3. Rugby United New York (LW: 4) A … Continue reading Power Rankings: MLR Round 7

3 Things: MLR Round 7
San Diego Has Completely Fallen Apart The Legion is in trouble. This isn't the Legion of old. Yes, on paper there's immense talent, but the injury bug refuses to let San Diego go. It only took a few minutes for the starting 10 to go down this week, forcing Cecil Afrika to move into out … Continue reading 3 Things: MLR Round 7

Los Angeles Giltinis (Last Week: 1) You want the top spot? Gotta beat 'em. 2. Austin Gilgronis (LW: 3) They want the … Continue reading Power Rankings: MLR Round 6

Eastern Conference https://twitter.com/usmlr/status/1386722951928500225 RUNY was destroyed this weekend, but they still hold the top spot on a Points/Match metric. NOLA also took a loss this weekend.

Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 7
The MLR is set up for every team to finish .500. The little decisions get you above that. Last week, we made no little decisions at all, going 3-3 on the week. That moves us to 14-17 on the year. Still better than Seattle. With that... Byes: Atlanta, Austin, Utah, Houston New England @ San … Continue reading Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 7
Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 6
After a golden sombrero the week before, we got back on track with 5 of 6 correct last week, moving out overall record to 11-16 on the season. Will the 6 games this weekend put us back over .500? Seems unlikely. Anyway... NOLA @ Atlanta This is a tough call. NOLA's loss to Austin comes … Continue reading Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 6

Not a lot of action at the top, but movement in the middle. After every team playing at least four games, we're seeing these teams for what they are. 1. Los Angeles Giltinis (Last Week: 1) The Houston scare came after they rested Giteau for the first half. I maintain that this team will lose … Continue reading Power Rankings: MLR Round 5
Tuesday Table: MLR Round 5
Eastern Conference https://twitter.com/usmlr/status/1384174403127169031 The late start to the season pushing against the international window left us with only two playoff spots per conference. With all due respect to the new kids, the fact we'll only see two of RUNY, NOLA, and Toronto in the playoffs is a real shame. These three sides are rounding into … Continue reading Tuesday Table: MLR Round 5
