Major League Rugby MLR
-
This competition starts this weekend and plenty of Kiwis will make their North American debut.
Fixtures: https://www.majorleague.rugby/schedules/
I'll try to watch the Colorado v Houston game tomorrow morning (6.00am), if the livestream that I found still works by then and if I can get myself out of bed that early.

I clicked here thinking about Bosox dealing Mookie Betts to the Dodgers, which is crazy, but does he deserve a $400-million dollar contract? Wrong thread. ’ll go away now.

This competition absolutely fascinates me. I had a good look on the website and was really keen to order an Austin jersey or training jersey, but the individual team sites are all over the show in terms of content and product availability which isn't helpful. Also not helpful is the prohibitive freight cost.

Austin has been a nightmare since inception. Dead last on and off the field
-
@muddyriver Maybe in Austin, MLR would have been better off utilising one of their existing clubs such as the Austin Blacks?

@Bovidae Here's the latest I could find about future expansion of the MLR. It looks like Dallas and LA are the next teams to join (in 2021), with possibly Miami in 2022 and then there's only one spot left, apparently. No teams from Chicago or San Fran yet, which is a bit strange. Or a second Canadian team (Vancouver).
Dallas and Los Angeles to join MLR in 2021 - Americas Rugby News
Dallas and Los Angeles are the next cities to join Major League Rugby according to new Commissioner George Killebrew. The statement was made at a press conference in New Orleans on Wednesday to announce the Gold’s move to a new stadium in 2020. While both cities have been mentioned in past...

A nice try by Ma'a and his team -

@Daffy-Jaffy A hint of forward from the winger who caught the kick! Pretty good rugby tho

Haha, after the renaming of Austin Herd (in 2017 still Austin Elite) to Austin Gilgronis (a cocktail), the MLR revealed the name of the new Los Angeles team a few days ago: LA Giltinis, also a cocktail!
The renaming of Austin Herd didn't go down well with the fans, and I've already seen a lot of criticism, and jokes, about the LA team's name.
This is the new team's logo:

Cheers!

@Stargazer Is that logo legit? 😝 If so, wow. The pastels, the A that looks like a 4, the Martini glass. Wow. Wow. Wow.
I was actually on the MLR site last night, just looking at some of the team kit. Austin doesn't even have any merch on it's web page.

That should get fans through the door. Looks like an advertisement for a gay club in Florida during the 80s.
