Some tinkering by Scott Lawrence ahead of the USA's clash with Romania this weekend!
Tonga Kofe is back in the starting front row, and Marno Redelinghuys shifts to lock as Captain Jason Damm moves to 8!
Starting back line is identical, with a 6-2 split on the bench

#Canada announce their 23 to face #Georgia in a massive test this weekend!
Prior comes in for his first test start, as does Waddell who earned his debut last week. Jason Higgins returns at 9, and Benn & Morra switch wings with Noah Flesch back in the centre!

This statement from #MLR a month ago is all the more interesting now.
I have no doubt that the #UtahWarriors were committed to #MLR2026, but this statement was made knowing that the team had not yet secured the necessary investment?
Next year NEEDS to be a reset. New leadership is needed.

The #UtahWarriors confirm their withdrawal from
#MLR on IG, leaving the league with 6 teams for #MLR2026.
@seawolves.rugby remain as the league's only Founding Member. I hope all players and staff land on their feet, and as for the fans, I know what this feels like💔

The #MLR Disciplinary page has been updated and it already has one interesting entry!
The #FreeJacks have been penalised for violating the League's Anti-Tempering Policy, receiving a Salary Cap Deduction for #MLR2026, and their 2026 1st Rd Draft pick moves to

But looking at that running track, sure looks like they'll be announcing that they will be playing out of @georgemasonu.bsky.social for #MLR2026!

I'm assuming they will play at #GMU Stadium, a 5,000 capacity primarily soccer/lacrosse field that hosted their 27-14 victory over NOLA in Rd 14 of #MLR2025!

.@redrosesrugby.bsky.social were the better team on the day against a Canadian side that might’ve emptied the tank last week.
Congratulations, England! Let’s get some more funding for the superb Canadian women’s program and do it again in 4 years!

Benn & Jones start with Shane O'Leary returning as Nelson moves to 10 and Matt Heaton is in the reserves!

Pretty stacked panel for the 2025 #MLRDraft tonight!
Although it's a 'live' broadcast, the draft has likely already taken place, and this will just be a reaction.
Interesting to see Fitz there, I wonder if he'll be asked any questions about #NOLAGold withdrawing...

Better late than never, the #MiamiSharks finally break their silence. Another poorly kept secret, they are out of #MLR2026.
It sounds like they aren't closing the door on returning in some form in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath right now.

We're less than 2 weeks out from the #MLRDraft and usually we'd begin to see teams swapping picks.
We don't even know WHERE the California Legion are drafting. I suppose #MLR has bigger things on it's plate right now though!
Here's a preliminary Draft order:
