2025 – RD 5: Rugby FC LA v Seattle Seawolves

The Seattle Seawolves travel down the I-5 to face Rugby FC LA in a Western Conference clash at Wallis Annenberg Stadium in Los Angeles. The Seawolves are flying high after a last-gasp Coffee Cup victory over the New England Free Jacks, while RFCLA are still looking for their first victory of the season after falling to their California rivals in the Cali Cup. These teams have met twice in the past with Seattle holding a 2-0 series lead. The most recent meeting was a 29-12 bonus point victory for the Seawolves in Round 17 of the 2024 season. Can a new-look LA team start to even the series with a win in this one?
