RFCLA Announce Team for historic match at HSBC SVNS

Rugby Football Club Los Angeles announces their Round One line-up of the 2024 Major League Rugby season. Going head-to-head against the Dallas Jackals on March 3, RFCLA officially releases their starting 15 and reserves (see below) for their inaugural match in Southern California.

The team has been relentlessly preparing in the pre-season and are ready to showcase their hard work at AEG’s Dignity Health Sports Park, following the HBSC SVNS LAX 2024 competition.

"The team has been training hard this off-season and we’re all grateful we get to play the game we love here in Los Angeles and be part of such a historic event at the HSBC LAX SVSNS." Said RFCLA Head Coach Steve Brett.

"Our fans and most loyal supports, like season ticket holders, are truly the lifeblood of the club and we couldn’t continue to grow the game of rugby in LA without them.

"We are looking forward to playing for them and rewarding their patience this past 12 months, and putting in a performance this city is proud of."

Season Tickets and tickets for the weekend's festival of Rugby can be purchased here.
