Really frustrated with #USMLR communication. Both the league and teams post things exclusively on Twitter and meta social media platforms. The #HoustonSaberCats vs #RFCLA match is postponed due to lightning, but updates on the weather delays were hard to find without Instagram or Twitter. If you're an #MLR fan here on Mastodon, please join me in giving the league some constructive feedback. Even if they just add these notices to the MLR mobile app that would be an improvement.

The #ChicagoHounds draw level with #RFCLA with 31 #FirstXV selections in #MLR2025, leading the league! CHI's James Scott, and Christian Poidevin & Brad Wilkin ( #SDLegion) earn their 4th nod of 2025, but #UtahWarriors' Frank Lochore earns his #MLR-leading 6th selection! #MLRStats

Top #MLR Tacklers after Rd 13! Frank Lochore is the first player of #MLR2025 to pass 200 tackles, and is WAY out in front of everyone else! The #UtahWarriors, #SDLegion, and #RFCLA all have a pair in the Top 10, as Ed Timpson sneaks into the list! #MLRStats #Rugby

With their loss to #RFCLA, @anthemrugby.bsky.social are the first team to be eliminated from #MLR2025 Playoff contention. They still have 4 games left this season. Will they pick up their first win? #MLRStats #MLR #NARDB #AnthemRC #AnthemCountry

Thanks to a late Jason Damm score, @seawolves.rugby & #RFCLA record the 1st draw of #MLR2025, and 10th draw in #MLR history! This is the 1st draw since #LA & @oldglorydc.bsky.social's 22-22 tie in Rd 6 of 2024, and is the 3rd time that a draw has ended with a 26-26 score! #MLRStats #Rugby

A strong #RFCLA squad to compete for the Cali Cup on a short turnaround! Anstee starts at lock for the first time in #MLR2025, and Kunatani shifts to 6 for Ben Houston to start at 8! The Bertranou/Leali'ifano combo returns, as does Mikey Sosene-Feagai on the bench! #LAvSD #MLR #MLRStats

In a break from normal scheduling, #USMLR is having a couple of midweek matches:

- #NewEnglandFreeJacks vs #RFCLA today
- #AnthemRC vs #SeattleSeawolves tomorrow

All three except the Free jacks appear to also have matches this coming weekend, as well.

Top Meter Eaters: #MLR2025 - RD9! No change in the Top 5 as #SeattleSeawolves' Divan Rossouw holds his lead despite the bye! #RFCLA have 3 players in the Top 10 including Ben Houston, one of only two forwards on this list with #HoustonSaberCats' Sam Tuifua! #MLRStats #Rugby #NARDB

Fans can find Christian Leali'ifano's player profile at NARDB below, along with hundreds of other current and former #MLR players! narugbydb.com/player/chris... #MLRStats #MLR2025 #Rugby #RFCLA

Christian Leali’ifano - NA Rug...

Through the first half of the #MLR2025 season, #RFCLA superstar Christian Leali'ifano has been like clockwork from the tee! He boasts a 92.59% success rate after Round 9 (25/27) and has racked up 56pts to become the All-Time Top Scorer for the young #RFCLA franchise! #MLRStats #LARugby #Rugby #LA

The #MLR naughty list! The arrows mark the change from our last look in Rd 5! #RFCLA are the outlier on the list with BY FAR the most cards in #MLR2025! At the opposite end, both @anthemrugby.bsky.social & the #UtahWarriors are staying on the good side of the refs!

RD7 of #MLR2025 saw the 3rd highest scoring game in #MLR history! #RFCLA defeated #OldGloryDC in a 54-44 slobberknocker that saw 8 cards and 13 tries for a combined 98pts! With this, #OGDC have now been on the losing side of the three highest scoring games in league history! #MLRStats #Rugby

Rugby watch party! Let's go Old Glory DC!

#USMLR2025 week 7 under way with #RFCLA looking for their first win of the season a they lead #NewEnglandFreeJacks 19-16 at the half.

#MLR #USMLR #rugby

Ex-Jackal Lucas Bur earns his #RFCLA debut, with Semi Kunatani earning his first start of #MLR2025! Jack Shaw comes back into the starting lineup, while Heaton and Dyer return on the bench, along with 2024 #MLR Back of the Year Reece MacDonald! #RFCLA #LAvDC #MLRStats

A few changes for #RFCLA, including Heaney back at loosehead, Jensen back in the center, and Seth Purdey starting at 14! Semi Kunatani & Will Leonard move back onto the bench after missing LA's last game! #NOLAvLA #MLR2025 #MLRStats #Rugby

Checking in on #MLR2025's Naughty List after a few weeks! The #ChicagoHounds & #RFCLA have the same amount of cards, while the #NOLAGold are yet to see a red, but have more yellows than anyone! At the better end, the #UtahWarriors, @anthemrugby.bsky.social, and #OldGloryDC stay in the good books!

A largely unchanged #RFCLA starting XV, but Jurie van Vuuren makes his #MLR2025 debut and Ed Timpson is back starting! A surprise on the bench though, as former Utah prop Franco van den Berg pops up! Not sure why that signing wasn't announced! #MLRStats #MLR #LAvSEA

The #MLR Naughty List after Rd 2 of #MLR2025! A rough week for #RFCLA who jump 5 spots to 3rd, but a 2nd Red in as many games for the #ChicagoHounds ensure that they stay on top which, as a reminder, isn't a good thing! #MLRStats
