Old Glory DC looks for a 2nd straight victory when it hosts relocated RFC Los Angeles on Saturday at the Maryland SoccerPlex
Old Glory DC (2-2-1, 12 points) got back on the winning track last week and on Saturday hosts RFC Los Angeles (1-3-0, 8 points) at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown, about 45 minutes northwest of Washington. Los Angeles also comes off a victory, getting its first in franchise history on March 24 while earning five points — four for the win and a bonus point for scoring more than four tries in the match. RFC Los Angeles marks the return of Major League Rugby to the Southland after Rugby ATL relocated last August following three seasons in Atlanta. Old Glory DC also began play in 2021. Both teams joined MLR in 2020 before the season was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
