The Twin Cities Gemini travel to Colorado to face the Denver Onyx at Infinity Park during Round 12 of the Inaugural Women’s Elite Rugby season!

The travelling TC Gemini come into this game sitting 5th in the standings with a 3-5 record. They are coming off a fiercely contested 12-10 victory over the Chicago tempest, and will be desperate to close the gap to the 3rd placed Boston Banshees with only a few weeks left in the competition. The Denver Onyx lead the league with a 7-1 record entering this game, but fluffed their lines and were handed their first defeat of the season by the New York Exiles in their previous game. They will be looking to bounce back and continue to assert their dominance over the rest of WER. These teams have met once previously, when the Onyx took a 19-38 victory on the road back in Round 8.

It was clear that, having suffered their first loss of the season last week, the Onyx were out for blood and unfortunately for the TC Gemini, they were in the way. An enormous, 11-try, 75-14 victory helped the Onyx to blow off some steam. Denver’s total of 75pts scored is a new WER record, as did the winning margin of 61pts and the try total of 11. The Onyx prove that last week was just a blip, and they shouldn’t be messed with.
