EP 95: The MLR Playoff Race is Coming Down to The Wire Ft. Bill Meakes
Listen now
Description
Week 14 of Major League Rugby saw the Giltinis face major adversity with eleven roster changes following several injuries before kickoff but they pulled out the victory against SD. The Utah Warriors held onto their place in the standings with their victory against New York while opening the door just slightly for NOLA or New England to have a chance at taking the second spot in the East. Bill Meakes has been all over the world playing Rugby, making his journey in a bit of unorthodox way, he continued that when he signed for the Giltinis. His performance on Saturday against San Diego was incredibly impressive. He's been a standout center for Darren Coleman this season, but just as his career has been unorthodox his performance on Saturday led to a Player of the Week selection finding out hours before the match that he'd play Openside Flanker for the first time in his life.
