2025 – RD 10: Seattle Seawolves v Chicago Hounds

28 v 22

Report

The Seattle Seawolves host the MLR-leading Chicago Hounds at Starfire Stadium in Tukwila for a cross-conference clash to kick off Round 10 of Major League Rugby’s 2025 season!

The Seawolves have struggled so far this season, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 2-5 record, but are fresh off of a bye week and playing in front of a home crowd. The 7-1 Chicago Hounds, meanwhile, are flying high on a 6-game win streak and coming off of a hard-fought victory over Anthem RC. These teams have met 3 times in the past, with the Chicago Hounds never having defeated the Seattle Seawolves, who hold a 3-0 series lead heading into this game.

The Hounds had fielded a much changed lineup for this game as they approach ‘Storm Week’, with a number of games in quick succession. The Hounds did not look like their normal selves, and the Seattle Seawolves took advantage. They secure a 28-22 victory in front of a home crowd, probably a closer scoreline than it should’ve been given teh circumstances, and Seattle will be disappointed to miss out on the try BP, but you can only play the team in front of you. The Chicago Hounds now have the Free Jacks nipping at their heels atop the Eastern Conference, just 3pts behind!
