This is one of those things that might come in really handy in a pub quiz one day!
Or when people bond over just naming random #MLR players 😅

Cuca Cavalieri worked wonders with the Dallas Jackals, taking them from a winless season in 2022 to one of the most entertaining teams to watch by 2024, and it looks like he might've done the same again with @anthemrugby.bsky.social!

A hugely deserved victory over a #CaliforniaLegion side that struggled to click, Anthem have got that monkey off of their backs early in the 2026 #MLR campaign!
Congratulations, Anthem!

Godfrey's try puts @anthemrugby.bsky.social up 12-34 with 15 to go, and I think that's game.
Anthem's defence has been excellent and they've taken their chances! #CaliforniaLegion on the other hand...look awful.

Obviously a very small sample size, but do we think that this RRS system is making for faster reviews and correct decisions?

I left @oldglorydc.bsky.social until last in the hopes they would reveal their #MLR2026 jerseys before the season started.
This is the last of @narugbydb.com's pre-season fact files for the 6 #MLR teams this year, I hope you've enjoyed them and that they come in handy!
