  • A Tale of Two Halves: Chaos, Comebacks, and Cracks in the Seawall
    May 5 2025

    In this week’s episode of the A&D Podcast, we break down a wild weekend of Major League Rugby action full of momentum swings, dramatic comebacks, and discipline woes.


    We kick things off with a thrilling RFC LA vs San Diego Legion clash, where LA’s high-speed offense kept them in it to the final whistle, but their porous defense and lack of a kicking game left them just short. Then, we head to Texas where the Houston SaberCats looked unstoppable against Old Glory DC—though questions remain: is it Houston’s rising form or DC’s inconsistency?


    Next up, we unpack the chaos in Utah as the Warriors and Chicago Hounds traded halves of dominance in one of the wildest turnarounds of the season. And finally, we close with the NOLA Gold vs Seattle Seawolves matchup, where early yellow cards and penalties cost Seattle dearly, despite a strong second-half surge.


    There are plenty of storylines, momentum swings, and playoff implications to dive into—don’t miss it.
