Seattle Seawolves 27-24 New England Free Jacks

TUKWILA, WA–A Malachi Elsdale try two minutes from time gave the Seattle Seawolves a 27-24 victory over the New England Free Jack in Major League Rugby action on Saturday–their first of the season. The try also gave the Seawolves a bonus point in the standings to go with the two bonus points for losing within seven points the previous two weeks. Seattle had overcome an early 14-0 deficit in the first 11 minutes of the match.

Cameron Orr scored two tries for the hosts while Simon-Peter Toleaofa scored two tries for the Free Jacks who get a bonus point in the standings, but the loss puts them nine points adrift of Eastern leaders Chicago in the early going.
