The Houston SaberCats host Rugby New York at SaberCats Stadium in Texas.

This game stands out as one of the very few times in Major league Rugby history that a single player has scored 100% of his team’s points in a winning effort. In this case, Ed Fidow scored all 10 of NY’s points through 2 tries.

The San Diego Legion travel to Texas to take on the SaberCats at AVEVA stadium in what proved to be an exhilarating contest.

This game had the makings of a barnburner with 6 tries scored in the first half alone, 3 for each side. Houston held a 34-27 lead entering the final 10 minutes of the game, and there was no score for either side until the 82nd minute, well after the clock had turned red. Legion centre Cameron Clark found space on the wing and made the try to bring the score to 34-32 with the conversion still to come.

The home crowd and SaberCats players could do nothing but watch as Legion fly-half and Captain Joe Pietersen lined up the conversion… which flew to the left of the uprights, giving Houston the shock victory in front of an elated home crowd.
