LA continue to roll as the only undefeated team. Toronto came up big this weekend and put the boots to Seattle who are floundering this season. New York continued their winning ways and Quinn Ngawati scored his second try of the season. Four of the games were decided by 4 points or less.
One of the highlights of the weekend was young Quinn Ngawati’s first MLR try in New York’s win over Atlanta.
Lachlan Kratz has signed with the NOLA GOLD for the season. He joins fellow Canadians, Eric Howard and Kyle Baillie.
Toronto notched their first win which made a number of Canadian fans happy. They outclassed the Old Glory DC side with former UBC player, Ben LeSage, having a strong match for the Arrows.
The new franchise, LA Giltinis, featuring Matt Giteau, Adam Ashley-Cooper and DTH continue to roll with an impressive 57-36 shellacking of defending champions, Seattle Seawolves. LA already have a +46 point differential with only 2 weeks gone. DTH wasn’t in the lineup this weekend, carrying a shoulder injury but wasn’t required as LA dominated. Seattle are 0-2 and one of the 3 winless teams in the competition. LA and Seattle both have a bye next week.
