Only months after the Astros brought their first World Series trophy home, Houston has added another professional sports team to its collection: the Houston SaberCats rugby team.
The Houston SaberCats, formerly Houston Strikers Rugby, have partnered with the Sugar Land Skeeters to share Constellation Field for Saturday night rugby. The team held local combines last year and signed major Olympic caliber players to strengthen the team with local and international talent in preparation for an inaugural season of Major League Rugby (MLR).
“I don’t believe you can underestimate the importance of being at the forefront of something as exciting as Major League Rugby,” said SaberCats head coach Justin M.
