HIGHLIGHTS | 2024 MLR CHAMPIONSHIP | Seatte Seawolves vs. New England Free Jacks

With a win over the Seattle Seawolves, the New England Free Jacks secured a consecutive Major League Rugby Champion title.

Played in front of a record 12,085 crowd at the San Diego Legion’s Snapdragon Stadium, the 2024 MLR Championship title was claimed thanks largely to the kicking of playmaker Jayson Potroz and a try by Le Roux Malan.

Pleased with the production value and coverage. Let’s keep building the league.

1st game I've watched of MLR.
Would be great to see some teams do a post season tour of Australia & New Zealand.
Watched on from Australia

Honestly really hoping this keeps taking off! Love watching it grow in the US I just wish the highlight video would’ve shown more like what led up to the end or some more points shown idk. Good season boys

I guess any kind of New England-Seattle championship matchup ends badly for Seattle 😂

Also, fun fact: This is the first MLR Final in history to finish without a single successful conversion kick

[BrahmBones]

Big MLR fan, want to see rugby really take off here in the US. Would've rather seen the infractions that led to the penalty kicks and the kicks themselves than all this footage of the TMO behind the scenes.

I completely forgot that the Americans can play rugby now, keep growing the league this is awesome guys

[bobbobskin]

Just came from watching Jeff at QSN review the game. Sounds like it was a real strategy SA v NZ style.

I thought Seattle would get it this time, but the freejacks are just tough ;\

[g_rec_attempt]

that play off the maul by the freejacks was fiiiire.

[elchasai]

Free Jacks looked Stacked. congrats New England!

[Samizouza]

Continue building and improving MLR, for the sake of North American rugby and the RWC2031 in the land of the free and home of the brave.

fuck i miss playing rugby. crazy i use to play with guys. just kept fucking uo my knee😔

[yurkshirelad]

Why is the commentator shouting while running through the team selections? That's just weird.

[RockyB]

Why’s the game at a neutral venue??? Should be a home game for whoever finished higher. This isn’t the superbowl 😆

[AdamM]

Really want this league to do well, I'm Irish but I think they should aim to have more American/Canadian voices around it.

Also I would like to see more focus on the scrum and line-out, Americans love details,

Without emphasising the set piece these guys just look like less athletic NFL or NRL players

[SunniLeBoeuf]

Hopefully rugby canada can stop being useless and bring back a Toronto or Vancouver team

[TheWolf-qkjp]

Pleased to see MLR growing, but crap highlights. A 6 min video with 30 seconds of action makes it appear as boring as NFL

[Mogwai-zf]

NFL is fucking boring as hell. Long live Rugby and Aussie Rules Football. 🤘

[果従莞友]

Oh... the crowd turnout isn't improving.

Level of play was possibly League One in English league
