This season NOLA has allowed 145 total points to opponents. That defense has been the catalyst for the teams success this season helping to balance out an offense that, so far through six matches, has not shown the same explosion as teams ahead of them in the standings.
For Miami this season the team started off the year with three straight losses before picking up its first win. Since that win Miami has lost two straight matches being outscored by 23 total points during this stretch. Miami has struggled on the offensive end this season with the least amount of total points scored in the Eastern Conference and second fewest in the league overall.
This is the first time the teams have met this season with one of the top defenses in rugby facing off with one of the lowest scoring teams this season. With a win today Miami would put itself into contention in the Eastern Conference, but another loss could very well sink its season before it has a chance to get started.
