Rugby FC LA travel to the nation’s capital to face Old Glory DC in a cross-conference clash at the Maryland Soccerplex! The California club have an opportunity to clinch their first ever playoff berth with a bonus point victory here, and are entering this game on a 3-game win streak and undefeated in 4. Old Glory DC have already locked up a playoff spot in the East, but are in a 3-way battle with Chicago and New England for 1st place and home advantage. The Flags are entering this game on a 4-game win streak of their own and are fresh off of a huge road victory over their rivals, the New England Free Jacks.

These teams have met twice in the past, with LA taking 1 game and the other ended in a draw. The broadcast cut out after roughly 30 minutes following a power outage in the area around the stadium, so fans watching from home had to rely on text updates from the league and teams. These updates informed us that the game was a back-and-forth affair, with Rugby FC LA eventually securing a 43-32 victory to clinch their place in the 2025 post-season. Old Glory DC picked up a try BP, but with a Chicago Hounds victory, have lost ground in the hunt for 1st in the West. The Flags will have to hope that the Free Jacks slip up tomorrow.

Old Glory DC return home to host the Miami Sharks in an Eastern Conference clash, a reverse fixture of the 2025 Major League Rugby opener back in round 1! The Miami Sharks are coming off of a shock victory over the Houston SaberCats and are looking to build on that momentum, while the Flags were dealt a decisive defeat at the hands of the NOLA Gold last week, and are looking to bounce back. These teams have met 3 times in the past, with Old Glory DC holding a 2-1 series lead thanks to a clutch 29-31 victory in Round 1 of the 2025 season, the most recent meeting between these two sides.

It was almost a repeat of their round 1 clash, as the Miami Sharks raced out to a 7-31 lead despite Old Glory DC scoring first, but with a score just before half-time, the hosts slowly began to fight their way back to 28-31 by the 60th minute. The Flags outscored the Sharks 21-6 in the second half, but this wasn’t enough as two Shane O’Leary penalties did just enough for the Sharks to hold on. A consolation try for DC would salvage 2pts in the standings, but it’s Miami who takes the full 5, with a 35-37 victory on the road.

These teams have met 10 times prior to this match including twice in the post-season, with the Free Jacks holding a dominant 8-2 series lead and are 2-0 against Old Glory in the playoffs. The most recent meeting between these sides was in the 2024 Eastern Conference Semifinal, when New England squeezed through as 33-29 victors after pinning Old Glory in their own end for much of the final 15 minutes. DC’s Connor Buckley recorded the first (and to date, only) playoff hat trick in MLR history in that game, so here’s hoping for plenty of action in this one.

These teams have met 4 times previously, with the Legion holding a 3-1 series lead. In their last meeting, San Diego came away with a convincing 11-27 victory in Round 4 of 2024. The scoreling would be remarkably similar this time around, as the Legion walked away as 10-26 winners after securing the try bonus point in the final minutes.

Remarkably, the San Diego Legion take a Bonus Point win from DC, despite only making 243m. This is the lowest winning meters made total in MLR history.
