AtlantaRecap
Major League Rugby expansion side Rugby ATL head west to Louisiana to face NOLA Gold at the Gold Mine, in a battle of the south!
The Gold have faced two 2020 expansion sides in as many weeks, with a very different outcome in this game to their Round 1 result. Rugby ATL emerged as 10-22 winners on the road with Kurt Coleman slotting 4 penalties from the tee and Rory van Vugt’s 79th minute try securing the victory for the RATLERS, who move to 2-0 on the season.
