Texan fullback/fly-half Maximo de Achaval played in Major League Rugby between 2018-2019. He represented the Glendale/Colorado Raptors for his entire MLR career.

Achaval finished T-10th for points scored during the league’s inaugural season in 2018 with 35pts. He is also one of the few players to have recorded a ‘full house’ (a try, conversion, penalty goal, and drop goal in the same game). Through the 2023 season, only de Achaval, JP Eloff (2018) and Sam Malcolm (2023) have achieved this.
