John Poland's Role in Senior Development Squad for the New England Free Jacks

June 7, 2024 - It's never easy to admit as a player, but sometimes an injury brings silver linings. It probably wasn't John Poland's and the New England Free Jacks' first thoughts in Major League Rugby Week 3. The Irish-born scrum half, who has been with the Free Jacks since 2019, sustained a pectoral injury that resulted in an early exit from the 2024 season. But the Championship-winning talisman now has a new role to play amongst the development of the Free Jacks and rugby in the New England area. "I was gutted knowing my season wa... Full Story

Free Jack's Le Roux Malan Ahead of Week 13

May 23, 2024 - Le Roux Malan's path to playing for the New England Free Jacks in 2024 was more arduous than most. Just months after scoring the try that handed the Massachusetts club their first-ever Major League Rugby title, the 25-year-old sustained a catastrophic leg injury at the Rugby World Cup in France.

Starting 16 games in the regular season, Potroz was the master of ceremonies as the Free Jacks lifted the MLR Shield for the first time in early July. Collecting 151 points for his side, Potroz was very much at the heart of everything his team did well in... Full Story

Forward of the Year: Wian Conradie, New England Free Jacks

October 13, 2023 - Conradie was been named the competition's Forward of the Year. The Namibian was a significant influence as his team lifted the MLR Shield for the first time in his third season in Quincy, Massachusetts. Like in his two campaigns prior, Conradie provided the Free Jacks with a perfect blend of pace and power in Scott Mathie's forward pack. Just as capable of running through a defender as he would be using footwork to get out of trouble, this recognition comes as welcome news. "I know going into the season I set o... Full Story
