SeawolvesRecap
The Los Angeles Giltinis host the 2x Major League Rugby champion Seattle Seawolves at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
LA proved that they were a force to be reckoned with, steamrolling the Seawolves by a score of 57-26, scoring 9 tries including a hattrick from Harrison Goddard. This was the first hattrick in LA franchise history, and the 9th hattrick in MLR history!
Goddard’s was not the only hattrick of the game though. Seattle replacement hooke James Malcolm entered the game in the 53rd minute, and had scored 3 tries by the 62nd minute. This was the first hattrick in Seawolves franchise history, and the 10th in MLR history. with all 3 tries scored in a 9 minute period after Malcolm entered the game, this is the fastest hattrick in MLR history to date.
This was the 2nd time in the 2021 season that a team scored over 50pts in a game, and at the time 57pts was the highest score from a single team this MLR season.
