My interactions have gone through the floor in the last few weeks here, so just a reminder that #MLRStats is on Instagram (MLRStats), and we're now on that other place too🦋!

@BeerBearsBeer @NEFreeJacks Yeah, that's pretty wild

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

Bit of a shame the the regular season finale is a 10pm ET kick-off, but it's on the West Coast so I get it!

The @NEFreeJacks have a monumental task ahead of them if they want to make the postseason, and might like to see a tie at GMU!

Checking in on the #MLR2026 Defenders Beaten leaderboard!

@CalLegion's Ed Timpson remains way out in front followed by Brock Webster in 2nd despite neither of them playing this week!

Webster's @HoundsChicago teammate Peyton Wall is on 29 in just 6 games!

@Matt_McCarthy00 @MPengellyDC @FantasyRuckers @usmlr @RugbyMorning This is pretty much what I expected 😅

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

Flesch had 9 career tries in the past 5 @usmlr seasons COMBINED coming into #MLR2026.

Spectacular season from the @RugbyCanada man!
#MLRStats

[Chicago Hounds @HoundsChicago]

Mason Flesch's eight tries this season is a career-high for the forward.

Major League Rugby's Player of the Year? 🤔😏

We have a back row forward in the top meters eaters, and a centre in the top tacklers.

#MLR2026 is upside down land!

Top Tacklers: #MLR2026 - Rd 10!

The Top 10 are all over 100 tackles made, still led by @OldGloryDC's Cory Daniel, just ahead of Jacob Norris!

[The Fantasy Ruckers @FantasyRuckers]

The second last weekend of the #MLR2026 regular season sealed the fate of those playing #FantasyMLR; either championship glory or finals heartbreak...on this week's #QuickTapRecap, @RyanJYe & @NARugbyDB's @JamDelay discuss everything that went down: https://t.co/ricsStTkSi

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

@mbeith Him and Coetzer were neck and neck pretty much all season until last weekend!

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

Coby Miln is now the only player with a realistic shot of reaching 100pts before the end of the #MLR2026 regular season.

Will he make it?

#MLRStats #WeAreLegion

[NARDB - Home of #MLRStats @NARugbyDB]

Top Scorers: #MLR2026 - Rd 10!

Two @CalLegion players share the Round High, with Steff Crimp's hat trick equalling @usmlr leader Coby Miln's 15pts!

Try scorers are still present in the Top 10, with @HoundsChicago's Mason Flesch & Theo Fourie both dotting down!

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

@mbeith Well there’s only 6 first choice kickers this season

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

@wafflehouserfc @djcoil @usmlr @NEFreeJacks @EdinburghRugby 🇳🇿

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

Following the @usmlr season, @NEFreeJacks centre Kienan Higgins will return to @EdinburghRugby on a 1yr deal!

He joined Edinburgh on a short-term deal prior to the start of #MLR2026, and has been excellent for NE this season!

#MLRStats #FreeJacks

[Edinburgh Rugby @EdinburghRugby]

Adding to the midfield. 💥

Kienan Higgins rejoins on a one-year deal after a short-term stint earlier this season - and will now team up with younger brother Riley at Hive Stadium. 🤝

Week 10 First XV Selections by team:

@SeawolvesRugby: 5
@CalLegion: 3
@HoundsChicago: 3
@OldGloryDC: 3
@AnthemRugby: 1
@NEFreeJacks: 0

#MLRStats #MLR2026

[James Deeley @JamDelay]

This must refer to table points rather than points or tries, but 'win by' is poor wording.

'Earn' 4pts and keep California to 0.
'Earn' 5pts and keep California to 1.

The Legion are 3 table points up and 78pts ahead on +/-, so @SeawolvesRugby need that BP win!

#MLR2026

[Seattle Seawolves Rugby @SeawolvesRugby]

Home playoff match on the line. 👀

🛡️ Win by 5 and keep California to 1 point
🛡️ Win by 4 and keep California to 0 points
