Gold Handle Business Against the Warriors

The Gold held off the Utah Warriors 28-19 at home on Saturday afternoon and remain atop the Major League Rugby standings. NOLA opened the scoring in the first two minutes when Tristan Blewett anticipated and intercepted a Utah pass, returning it the opposite way for the score. Man of the Match honors were awarded to Fly Half Scott Gale. Gale played the full 80 minutes and was a factor on both sides of the ball.
