New England Free Jacks vs Old Glory DC Prediction: Hosts are unstoppable

At Veterans Memorial Stadium, the defending champions, New England Free Jacks, will host Old Glory DC in Week 2 of Major League Rugby. Undoubtedly, the hosts are heavily favored to secure a victory, while the visiting side will enter the match as substantial underdogs.

The New England Free Jacks demonstrated resilience and skill last weekend, starting their season emphatically with a victory over Anthem RC. In that match, they dominated with a commanding 3-29 lead at halftime, with Quattrin, MacDonald, LeSage, and Potroz all contributing significantly. Despite facing challenges in the second half, the Free Jacks managed to secure a 12-17 win. As they approach their upcoming match, it's worth noting that the New England Free Jacks have now extended their winning streak to 13 consecutive matches. Their last defeat dates back to last April against the Utah Warriors.

Old Glory DC faced a tough challenge in their week one encounter on the road, suffering an 18-6 defeat. Initially, they had a promising start with a 0-6 lead, courtesy of Jason Robertson's two penalty goals. Unfortunately, a decline in performance and a complete loss of energy led to Old Glory DC failing to score any further points, resulting in an 18-0 loss against NOLA Gold. Examining their recent five matches, the visiting team has experienced three defeats, with the other two losses against the Houston SaberCats and the New England Free Jacks.

The home team has displayed impressive form, entering this game with the intention of maintaining their strong start to the season with a victory. Conversely, the visiting Old Glory DC has struggled with inconsistency and faces a team that has historically dominated them. While I hesitate to completely discount Old Glory DC, it appears challenging to envision any outcome other than a commanding win for the New England Free Jacks.
