Bit of shuffling in the #SDLegion lineup, as Hugh Roach returns to the front row and Zak Farrance returns from injury, pushing Vili Helu to the flank! New signing Junior Time-Tautua is straight into the centre, and both McClutchie & Poidevin are on the bench! #MIAvSD #MLR2025

Tries Scored/Conceded by each team in #MLR2025! #SDLegion lead with 62 tries scored, followed by the #UtahWarriors on 61. At the other end are the #MiamiSharks & @anthemrugby.bsky.social with some rather large red bars! What stands out here for you? #MLRStats #MLR #Rugby

Desperate for a win, Captain Brad Wilkin returns at 7 for the #SDLegion and Brache comes back at centre the only changes in the starting XV! Some big names on the bench alongside ex-Anthem player Steffan Crimp, in line for his Legion debut off the bench! #LAvSD #MLR2025 #MLRStats

In 2023, the #SDLegion recorded #MLR's best ever regular season, finishing with a 15-1 record and 74 of a maximum 80pts! MLR's current leaders, the #ChicagoHounds, could tie the 15-1 record but can only reach 72pts. The Legion's record is safe for another year. Will it ever be broken? #MLRStats

Facing the #SDLegion in San Diego has to be one of the most daunting tasks in #MLR over the last few years! But this weekend, the #ChicagoHounds came to Torero Stadium atop the East and handed the Legion their first home defeat in close to a year! #MLRStats #MLR2025 #NARDB

Top Meter Eaters: #MLR2025 - RD8! #SeattleSeawolves' Divan Rossouw takes the lead as @oldglorydc.bsky.social's Damien Hoyland rested, the only players over 500m! Two #SDLegion players enter the Top 10 in Ethan Grayson & Ryan James, who recorded the #MLR Rd-High of 112m made! #MLRStats #Rugby

In RD 7, AJ Alatimu came off the bench to slot a penalty for the #HoustonSaberCats, and what an important 3pts it was! He's just the 3rd player to pass 100pts with the #SaberCats, but also moves above #SDLegion legend Joe Pietersen to become the 2nd highest #MLR scorer ever! Congratulations, AJ!

Brook To'omalatai and Rhian Stowers earn their first #SDLegion starts, with Tupai earning his first start of #MLR2025! Ethan Grayson moves to the centre for the first time this season, and Marcel Brache returns on the bench along with Paddy Ryan! #MLRStats #SDvMIA #MLR #Rugby

Top Tacklers: #MLR2025 - Rd 5! Brad Wilkin holds the lead despite the #SDLegion enjoying a bye, but the gap's closed to 4 with #RFCLA's Jason Damm on 65! #OldGloryDC's Cory Daniel completed a round-high 27 tackles, now T-4th with #MLR's all-time leading tackler, Lucas Rumball! #MLRStats #NARDB

Top #MLR2025 Tacklers: Rd 1! No prizes for guessing which teams made the most tackles this week! 3 #Legion players and FIVE #FreeJacks feature, led by Joe Johnston on 28! The #SDLegion & #FreeJacks made 232 & 235 tackles respectively. No other team made over 120! #MLRStats #MLR #NARDB
