Report
The Chicago Hounds host Rugby FC LA in a cross-conference, Monday night affair at Seatgeek Stadium, sporting their 2025 city edition jerseys. This is the first of the Hounds’ two mid-week games in 2025, and they will travel to face Anthem RC at the weekend on a 5-day turnaround. The visiting RFCLA have an even tighter schedule, as they will fly back to LA to host the Miami Sharks in just 4 days time.
The Chicago Hounds are looking to bounce back after a defeat at the hands of the New England Free Jacks in Quincy, and capitalise on the Free Jacks’ loss to Miami this week. RFCLA are still fighting for their playoff lives after a big win against Anthem RC, and look to stay ahead of the surging Seattle Seawolves. These teams have only met once before, with the Hounds taking a 54-31 victory back in Round 8 of the 2024 season.
