2021 – RD 3: Austin Gilgronis v Houston SaberCats

26 v 0

Report

The Austin Gilgronis host their Texas rivals the Houston SaberCats at Bold Stadium, in Major League Rugby’s 2nd ever Texas Cup match!

This game was entirely Austin, with the AGs scoring tries throughout the match for a total of 4 for the try bonus point. Even better for Austin’s home crowd, they didn’t let the Cats get on the board, blanking them 26-0 in the 4th shutout in MLR history. At the time, this was a Franchise Record for the biggest winning margin in club history and they successfully defend the Texas Cup!

For Houston, they hold the unenviable record of being the only MLR team to date to have been shut out more than once, having also been blanked by the Free Jacks last week. They didn’t help themselves, with 3 yellow cards leaving them shorthanded for a significant portion of the game. In their last two matches, then have been outscored 58-0.
