2020 – RD 1: San Diego Legion v Seattle Seawolves

33 v 24

Report

Round 1 of the 2020 Major League Rugby season saw a repeat of the 2019 final, with the San Diego Legion at home, facing the now back-to-back champion Seattle Seawolves. While the match-up was the same, the result was very different and there would be no last minute heroics from the Seawolves.

A 33-24 bonus point win for the Legion saw them claim their revenge over their rivals, not allowing Seattle to pick up either bonus point.
