New York scrapes by NOLA to set up dramatic finale

Rugby United New York took a 24-22 win over the NOLA Gold at MCU Park on Sunday afternoon. While they failed to secure a bonus point, the nail-biting result leaves New York even with NOLA on points and sets up a dramatic final weekend of the Major League Rugby regular season next week.

It was the Gold who took a page out of RUNY’s playbook when they drove ahead from the lineout and nearly walked over just 5 minutes in. They were stopped short but after repeat phases it was Cam Dolan who hit and spun over from short range for an early seven-point lead.
