2020 – RD 5: Houston SaberCats v Austin Gilgronis

20 v 24

Report

The only Battle of Texas of the 2020 Major League Rugby season saw the Austin Gilgronis travel to the AVEVA stadium to take on the SaberCats. This game was the first time that the ‘Texas Cup’ was contested, a new intra-season trophy to be fought between (in 2020) Austin and Houston.

Austin came away victorious, earning their first win since June of 2018 in what would turn out to be the last MLR game of the 2020 season for both sides, as the season would be postponed for 30 days on March 12, 2020, and then cancelled on March 19, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
