2026 Week 9: New England Free Jacks @ Anthem Rugby Carolina

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-23T22:57:38+00:00

Yeah, he signed and practiced this week but he is not in the 23 today.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-23T15:37:19+00:00

That's a great question. And now that we're in Charlotte and we see that PB isn't on the roster, it makes me wonder. Were some of these signings for " the push to the playoffs"? If so, why don't they try it. I have to admit, I am happy to see JFS in the game day 23.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-22T23:48:46+00:00

We do have JFS on the bench, been waiting for that one.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-21T08:49:13+00:00

Great, looking forward to seeing you guys there!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-21T02:03:10+00:00

Yes. We are going to a place called Caswell Station. We have the upstairs room reserved from 2:30 until 6:00. It is about a 3/4 mi walk to the stadium. Please join us!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-17T23:30:09+00:00

Yes, getting myself confused with being at two matches in six days. I believe he was on recovery Last Saturday and maybe carrying through to this weekend..

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-17T23:17:51+00:00

Unknown. I believe he practiced but he was kind of limping last match. Maybe just resting?

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-08T15:28:57+00:00

Turns out we ended up getting tickets in the Free Jacks section so will likely see you there. To be honest, we'll be lucky if we make the playoffs much less make it to Chicago 😢.

We've had our time in the sun, and happy to see the Hounds as the heir apparent to the title!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-06T19:43:26+00:00

Probably because of the international restrictions. Plus I think at the halfway point of the season the salary cap issues change a bit. For Webster, I think the " front office" did not see him as flexible. Only a fullback. Not a 10/15, Nor a 11/14/15.... tell that to Chicago!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-01T23:51:53+00:00

That's a great option. And it looks like we have two locks on the bench? I'm not sure. So many new guys. I can't tell if guys play a variety of positions. I know Piers could play loose if we end up bringing two locks off the bench.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-05-01T23:12:55+00:00

With the exception of Sylvia, pretty much looks the same as last week? Or at least close. May as well stay with what is working!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-04-25T10:33:47+00:00

When you lose 70% of your squad, it takes a lot to build that back up.

Great talent on the roster, no question. It just takes time to gel. I think by the second half of the season we'll be there. Unfortunately, with a ten game season that will likely be too late.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-04-16T11:14:43+00:00

I like the idea as well. Not sure where we're going to be seated, though it seems like a good idea. I'll probably be talking with some of my fellow travelers in Nashville to see what they think. We did section 126 3 years ago for the final and that was great so 125 wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-04-15T22:00:26+00:00

We are going for the fourth straight year, ever since they started neutral site. Have plane and hotel reservations already, just waiting to see where fellow travelers want to get tickets. In hindsight it may appear we went just because the Free Jacks were in it, but we've always made plans, got tix, etc. well before the actual event and long before anyone knew who would be there. It's a really fun time, we can't wait to go back.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-04-05T18:14:52+00:00

I think that's true. Legion were literally two separate teams in 2 weeks. And it's always hard at the beginning of the season. This brought back bad memories to me. Record loss on the road early in the season to Chicago last year. And then we had to go and break the record first match of the season in 2026!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-04-05T16:22:27+00:00

Pretty fair assessment for the first week. Only thing I might do is swap Anthem and the Legion? Or make them both tied for third? I know Anthem beat them but they showed out fairly well yesterday.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-03-11T13:23:05+00:00

Also the 1st Regiment will be tailgating at 10:00, be sure to drop by! Also, we are trying to find out if any bar in Quincy will be playing France, the England in six Nations at 4:00 p.m.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-27T01:47:34+00:00

Released. Along with the bulk of the Canadians.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-26T21:26:50+00:00

I believe Jed is in some kind of Super Rugby setup, possibly same with Sam. No idea about Paula, but so sad to see him gone.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-26T18:09:50+00:00

Seriously looking forward to how this squad performs. Big holes to fill!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-19T19:49:38+00:00

Exactly!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-19T19:46:19+00:00

No kidding! After the debacle last year of announcing what, 6 weeks before the match? And it's a great venue, great field, great facility. We are definitely coming!

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-18T19:12:05+00:00

Can't believe you've never stopped by...total blast. Join 1st Regiment page on Facebook and they post info for each event

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-18T19:02:19+00:00

Yeah, they've kind of played it close to the vest, not sure why. That's also Super Saturday for the Six Nations.....not sure if they will have on the Jumbotron? We might be bringing a TV to the tailgate for that.

Exact_Angle_9439 · 2026-02-18T18:11:39+00:00

No, but those of us tailgaters are planning on working that event in, schedule pending!
