A late try from Le Roux Malan gave the Free Jacks a 25-24 win over the Legion and their first US professional title
The New England Free Jacks and the San Diego Legion scored three tries each in the Major League Rugby Championship Final in Chicago on Saturday, the boot of Jayson Potroz making the difference and giving New England their first US professional rugby union title.
The New Zealander Free Jacks fly-half was one of a number of international players on show at the SeatGeek Stadium outside Chicago – with the 103-cap All Blacks center Ma’a Nonu turning out for the Legion, not long having turned 41.
