The @CalLegion jerseys for #MLR2026 are here! I'm assuming left is the 'Home', which is hard to make out in the dark but looks sharp if a bit like a training kit. Red is a classic for the Legion, but not sure about those shoulders... What do you think? #WeAreLegion #MLRStats

@fergusb @moneill31 They musta read your message! H2 was much better. Still fighting ☘️

Celtic game is a hard watch. 2nd to everything, outplayed and outfought. Two great finishes. @moneill31 has a lot to do at half time to even salvage pride never mind a point.

@will_hooley @usmlr @AnthemRugby @AlexMagleby @RugbyRundownTRN The real difference-maker is cutting the foreign players and leveling the field in a diluted MLR. If this team still can’t make the playoffs in the 2026 league after that, there are zero excuses left.

@usmlr @AnthemRugby @AlexMagleby @RugbyRundownTRN The signings are impressive but for me having Cuca Cavalieri as head coach for a full year will be the difference maker for @AnthemRugby 👊🏻

With @AnthemRugby releasing their roster last week, @will_hooley breaks down why this might be their strongest year yet Read the article on MLR Roster data by @AlexMagleby: bit.ly/4syxFlV #MLR2026

@JamDelay @HoundsChicago @NEFreeJacks *does not include airfare or accommodation

Ah, so @HoundsChicago Season ticket holders WILL get tickets to the TBA game against the @NEFreeJacks. Great! #MLR2026

@JacksRangers @Bozo6Actual Ouch!

Out with the old, in with the new.

@raysrugby @MartinPengelly Hardly a surprise considering he helped it “grow” from 13 to 6.

@USARugbyWAKEUP @JamDelay @AnthemRugby With Wilson returning home to Quincy, Mooneyham is a good man to have on that Anthem squad.

@JamDelay @AnthemRugby Im surprised the see Mooneyham signed has he has kinda dropped off the eagles radar in the last 2 years

Over the last few days, @AnthemRugby have announced on IG the signing of Tom Pittman and Payton Telea-Ilalio, as well as the re-signing of Conner Mooneyham. Thye haven't posted them here, though. Did they forget their twitter password? #MLRStats #MLR2026

@USARugbyWAKEUP @wafflehouserfc @AnthemRugby Well, they have banned (most of) international and Canadian players to level the playing field. And they’ve been signing the best domestics so if they can’t do it this year they can forget about it.

@wafflehouserfc @AnthemRugby I agree

Word on the street is Seth Smith signs with @AnthemRugby for #MLR26

@AmerRugbyRising @djcoil @AnthemRugby Is that a hooker or a scrum-half?

@djcoil @AnthemRugby Left-hand pitcher? 😉

#MLR @AnthemRugby signs LHP Payton Telea-Ilalio for 2026

@raysrugby @HoundsChicago Yeah, it would make more sense that the USA 9 would replace the “international”.

@markfitz @HoundsChicago I wouldn't assume Higgins is returning given he's now an import and they already have de Haas and Baska

got him😈 US Eagle Ruben de Haas is officially a Dawg 🫡🐺 📖⬇️: chicagohounds.com/news/chicago-h…

@T2Rugby Conor has some interests (and education) outside of rugby so pretty sure in his case it would have happened either way... Baillie is pursuing a firefighting career

Josh Larsen shifts from the second row to defense coach... he's been coaching Mystic River in the ARP recently. Not from this article... but fellow 🇨🇦Canadian Free Jacks locks Kyle Baillie and Conor Keys have also called time on their playing careers.

Look at it again, unless you were looking at something else. But, that supporter, from K.K. is a nutcase, he has a history and needs a lifetime ban. He doesn't drive, so someone enabled him by giving him a lift.

@JamDelay @usmlr Now THATS some stats! And Rugby New Jersey didn’t fare much better, folding 1 year after winning the MLR ‘22.

.@usmlr sides that have folded following their best-ever season: 🟧Austin Gilgronis (DSQ) - 2022 (58pts) 🐺Dallas Jackals - 2024 (Conf Final) 😼Houston SaberCats - 2025 (Runner Up) 🦈Miami Sharks - 2025 (Conf SF) 👹Utah Warriors - 2025 (Conf Final) #MLRStats #MLR2026 #MLR

@AmerRugbyRising @JamDelay @usmlr @utwarriorsrugby Focusing on Anthem and making them competitive in a lower standard league sans the international players is crap - an 85 point international defeat will seem like a decent result if their players are ending up in a league of their own.

@JamDelay @usmlr @utwarriorsrugby Soft reset in 2026. Come back with funded Utah and NOLA franchises, and a Canada based team.

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

@AmerRugbyRising @JamDelay @usmlr @utwarriorsrugby If a Canadian team was to come on board for ‘27 the MLR shoulda left their status as was for ‘26 and give everyone a chance to regroup instead of shafting their players’ RWC27 prep.
