Oti Pifeleti comes in for Jake Turnbull in the front row, and Jason Tidwell earns his Hounds debut on the wing, otherwise it's the same team as last week!

While Charlie Walsh is a recent draft pick by @seawolves.rugby, selected 11th in 2025, Calvin Liulamaga was picked 11th overall the year before, so his #MLR debut has been a long time coming!

I'm pretty surprised that any #FreeJacks players made it at all!
I'd argue that Billy Meakes deserves to be there over Higgins, although a Higgins/Meakes combo would probably be fair.

With 2 games played, it makes sense that this list is dominated by #CaliforniaLegion & @anthemrugby.bsky.social players, although a few others have crept in!
250m+ gained in just 2 games from Ryan James sure is something!

Top Metre Eaters in #MLR: #MLR2026 - RD 2!
Ryan James follows up his 125m #CaliforniaLegion debut with 128m in their 1st win, and is already pulling clear of the pack!
However, @seawolves.rugby's Divan Rossouw is the Round Leader this week, with 139m gained! He slots into 4th!

This battle between @oldglorydc.bsky.social’s Jason Robertson and @seawolves.rugby’s Davy Coetzer might be one to watch for the whole #MLR2026 season!
How high up this list will they get this year?
