Rivalry Match: NOLA vs Atlanta

April 12, 2023 - Major League Rugby (MLR)
NOLA Gold News Release


After a well-timed Week 8 bye, the Gold are back in action in Week 9 against Rugby ATL. NOLA suffered defeat to Atlanta in Week 3, so the Louisiana lads are hungry for a rematch.

The first encounter with Rugby ATL didn't go the Gold's way; the final score read 29-16, and Atlanta's highlight reel from that match was considerably longer than NOLA's. However, after that Week 3 contest, the Gold flipped a switch and transformed its play. From zero to hero, NOLA notched three straight wins and an extremely tight loss to a strong Seattle team. Given the team's momentum before its bye week, fans should expect a much closer game that has the potential to swing in the Gold's favor on Saturday.

A win against Atlanta would catapult the Gold back into the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference. With a full week to recoup their energy and gameplay for this rivalry match, the Gold squad will look to start strong and finish stronger.
