For those interested in rugby, Old Glory DC opened their 2026 Major League Rugby season with a 33-16 loss to the only remaining MLR original Seattle Seawolves. Discipline was a major issue early though they settled down for the most part as the game went on. The offense seemed to run out of ideas at several points and would box kick it without being able to get on the ball on the chase and turn it over after several phases of play. Down only 19-16 after scoring a try and converting while down a man due to a yellow at the hydration break in the 2nd half around the 60′ mark. Seattle then saw a man sent off with a red in the 62′ and was down a man for the rest of the match as there wasn’t more than 20 mins left. But OGDC couldn’t solve the Seattle defense and actually ended up giving up 2 late tries when they overcommitted on the offense and weren’t set up to stop quick breaks once their defensive line was broken while up a man. Old Glory’s next game is Saturday 11 April 2026 at 4 PM ET at New England Free Jacks on MASN and ESPN+.
