So I guess we are pretty good this year. Anyone been to watch parties at Platypus Brewing? I'm guessing it will be nut to butt in there. So looking for another bar that still would have a decent crowd watching the game Saturday. Phoenix? Kirby Ice?

I'm not sure enough old ruggers will be awake and out of the house by 1PM on a Saturday for there to be multiple watch parties.

I searched on FB, and the only other one I see is Finn MacCool's on Eldrige.

Man, I had been wanting to go to a match, but that stadium is 45 minutes away with no traffic. With traffic, that's more drive than rugby. I was hoping that team would be successful, though.

Their games were a lot of fun. My son and I went to their first game ever at Constellation Field (with a fellow TexAger), and went to several at their new stadium. They (and the sport and the fans) came a long way since that first game. We live on the southwest side, so it sounds like we were closer to the stadium than most of y'all.

My son got so into rugby that last year, when HISD started up a pilot middle school rugby program in coordination with the Cats, he joined his school's club (he was in 6th so not eligible for team sports under UIL, but this was just a club) and had a blast. They had an end-of-season mini-tournament on the practice fields there and he ran the length of the field to score a try in the rain and mud. He loved it.

Sad to see them go.

Went to their first match at Constellation Field and a couple at their facility. Lot of fun and I really like rugby. Sadly it sounds like the whole league is going to fold.

I guess my Sabrecats t-shirt will become a collectors item now.

The interesting thing about it is the follow up post that basically says that the MLR is not being run responsibly so they are getting out before they sink more money into a league that isn't going to make it

It's not making it because no one really cares and the level of play is bad

Sad. I went to a few games. Really tried to get into it. Just isn't a game that keeps me interested much. Really wish they would make a 7s league, or Austrailian style football here. That's a fun watch.

I hadn't seen that one. Kind of vague, but I'm glad they're going to continue to use the facilities for amateur rugby. The sport has grown so much over the last 20 years or so that's it's surprising they didn't get better fan support. However, poor marketing and merchandising did not help raise awareness of the team or the league.
