Rugby New York takes on the Seawolves in a most unlikely MLR title match.
Rugby New York went on the road last week and upset the Free Jacks, who finished with a Major League Rugby-best 13-3 record this season. That came after a road win in the eliminator round at Rugby ATL. But in Saturday’s championship match, Rugby New York faces an opponent that quite literally wasn’t supposed to be there in the Seawolves.

Entering Round 18, Seattle headed to Los Angeles for its last regular-season match already eliminated from playoff contention. That was before the Gilgronis, who have won the Western Conference, were disqualified for rules violations. That put the Seawolves back in contention provided they could beat the Giltinis.
Seattle won the match and before the playoffs could open, the Giltinis were also banned from postseason play. The Seawolves hosted San Diego in the eliminator and blasted the Legion 43-19 before going to Houston last week and beating the SaberCats 46-27 in the Western Conference Final.
In their lone meeting this season, Rugby New York beat the Seawolves 30-22 on May 15 at JFK Stadium in Hoboken, New Jersey. The championship match will be played at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey.
Regional restrictions may apply.
