2021 – RD 8: Rugby United New York v LA Giltinis

18 v 16

Report

The LA Giltinis travel across the country to take on Rugby United New York at Cochrane Stadium in the 1st ever ‘Champagne Cup’, one of many intra-season trophies that are contested throughout a typical Major League Rugby Season.

It was a low scoring affair, with the NY defence holding LA to just 1 try and 16 points, as the men from the big apple inflicted LA’s first ever defeat in MLR, despite not scoring a single try!

6 successful penalties from NY fly-half Dan Hollinshead gave NY all 18 of their points, triumphing over the west coast outfit, 18-16. Hollinshead becomes just the 1nd MLR player ever to score 100% of his team’s points in a winning effort, following Sam Windsor who scored all 21 of Houston’s points in a 21-20 victory.
