2025 – RD 6: Anthem RC v Houston SaberCats - North American Rugby Database

45 v 46

Report

Anthem RC host the Houston SaberCats in a cross-conference clash at American Legion Memorial Stadium during Round 6 of MLR’s 2025 season! Both teams are fresh after byes last week, but Anthem RC are still looking for a first franchise victory. Will they get it against a formidable SaberCats side?

It was a back and forth, high-scoring game that went down to the final moments, as the Houston SaberCats were spared their blushes thanks to a last minute penalty nailed by Davy Coetzer, to bag the full 5pts in a 91pt, 14 try thriller in Charlotte! Anthem RC are getting closer to that first franchise victory, and with another two table points in this one, are moving in the right direction. Scoring 45pts and not coming away with the victory is bound to sting, however. This was the most points and tries ever scored by Anthem RC in a single game, and with 440pts scored all time, this game alone accounts for over 10% of the points the team has ever scored up to this point.
