Report

The Seattle Seawolves travel down the west coast to face Rugby FC LA at Dignity Health Sports Park in a Western Conference Clash during Round 7 of the 2024 MLR season.

Although it took almost 20 minutes, the Seattle Seawolves took the lead through the boot of Sam Windsor and never looked back. Their convincing 5-try, 5-36 victory puts them into first in the Western Conference and top of the entire MLR.

Seawolves Captain Riekert Hattingh scored 2 tries in this game, the 40th and 41st of his MLR career. Hattingh is just the 2nd player in MLR history to pass the 40 tries scored mark, behind Dylan Fawsitt of the Chicago Hounds (on 47 at time of writing). Hattingh also gained 83m with ball in hand to take his career MLR total to 5,069m, becoming the 3rd player in MLR history to pass 5,000m gained behind NOLA Gold’s JP du Plessis (5,349m) and San Diego Legion’s Mikey Te’o (5,437m).
