2025 – RD 7: Rugby FC LA v Old Glory DC

54 v 44

Report

Old Glory DC travel from the nation’s capital to the west coast to face Rugby FC LA in a cross-conference clash at Wallis Annenberg Stadium within UCLA.

The hosts are flying high after back-to-back victories, but Old Glory DC are coming into this game just as confident after a convincing 28-14 victory over Eastern Conference rivals, the New England Free Jacks. These teams have only met once in the past, with neither team able to land a decisive blow. That game ended 22-22 in Round 4 of the 2024 season, but this one ended very differently! A back-and-forth game with almost a whole deck of cards handed out saw 98pts scored in total, making this match the highest scoring game of the 2025 season so far, and 3rd highest scoring ever. Eight cards were shown in total, with Rugby FC LA being shown 4 yellows and a red to Gonzalo Bertranou for two yellows. DC were shown 3 yellows of their own that saw a significant portion of the match played 14 v 13.
