Riekert Hattingh (Captain), Charles Elton (Vice Captain), Mason Pedersen, Pete Malcolm, and Kara Pryor have all suffered season-ending injuries this year.

Oof. 😬

    Hello! This came up in my everything feed and I just learned my region has a team. I want to start watching, how and where can I do this?

      Hi! Who’s your team? I’m in SaberCats territory and have been watching since their inaugural pre-season skirmish back in 2018.

      Matches are held every weekend and the majority are streamed live for free on https://therugbynetwork.com, which also has mobile apps (with Chromecast/AirPlay) and Roku (not sure about Apple TV). Most weekends, there’s usually at least one match on Fox Sports (https://Fox sports.com/live). Without a cable subscription, you get 1 hour free preview on that site. But you can use incognito/private browser window to start the match, close the window at half time, and open a new window to get another hour (I’ve been doing this for 2-3 seasons). And you can Cast/AirPlay from the Fox Sports site, too.

      I post weekly match threads with schedules/standings and links to the league’s “how to watch” posts and the TRN feeds. This weekend’s thread is here. The first match of the weekend is actually New England @ Seattle, in about 45 minutes from now, on TRN.
