RaptorsRecap
The first fixture of Major League Rugby’s 2020 season saw the Glendale Raptors, rebranded to the Colorado Raptors, travel to the Lone Star State to face the Houston SaberCats at Aveva Stadium.
In perhaps a shock based on previous results of this match-up, Houston came out on top with a 21-12 victory.
