The Utah Warriors host Anthem RC in a cross-conference clash at Zion’s Bank Stadium during Round 15 of the 2025 MLR season!

Long eliminiated from playoff contention, Anthem RC are playing for pride and are still looking for their first ever victory as a franchise. The USA’s rising stars are coming off of a 19-33 home defeat to the Chicago Hounds in which they showed glimpses of promise, but struggle to put it together for longer than 30 minutes. On the other hand, the Utah Warriors are fighting for first place in the Western Conference and are coming off of a nailbiting road win in New Orleans. A victory in this game would guarantee the Warriors their first playoff berth since 2021.These teams have met just the once in the past, with the Utah Warriors taking a big 44-19 victory back in Round 6 of the 2024 season.

It was the Utah Warriors that came out on top in this game as well, with a 5 try bonus point victory and a healthy scoreline of 31-10. Taking the full 5 points, the Utah Warriors become the first team in the Western Conference to secure their place in the 2025 post-season. For Anthem RC, they fall to 0-31 all time and have just one more chance to pick up their first victory in 2025, or record two back-to-back winless seasons.
