2021 – Eastern Conference Final: Rugby ATL v Rugby United New York

Rugby ATL host Rugby United New York in a nailbiting Eastern Conference final in Georgia!

The home side claimed the only try of the game, with replacement prop Alex Maughan scoring in the 75th minute. This try could hardly have come at a better time, with NY leading 3-9 up until that point from the boot of Harry Bennett, despite an ATL penalty being the first score of the game from the boot of Bautista Ezcurra, who went 1/3 from the tee this game.

Maughan’s try brought the score to 8-9 so it was down to Kurt Coleman to nail the conversion, and he made no mistakes! This took the score to 10-9 for the hosts, who manage to hold on for the last few minutes to book their place in the 2021 MLR Final as Eastern Conference Champions!
