2026 Pre-Season Summary: #NEFreeJacks
The 3x #MLR Champions remain the team to beat in #MLR2026!
The #FreeJacks have had more turnover than any other side in the competition as they've pivoted away from their Canadian contingent to new faces (to MLR, anyway)!

The #NEFreeJacks scored their first try of the #MLR2025 postseason just 19-seconds in, setting a new #MLRPlayoffs record!
This is just 6-seconds off the fastest try in MLR history scored by Dillon Smit for the #HoustonSaberCats back in March 2022!

Not the way the 3-time defending Major League Rugby Champions wanted, but fortunately for the New England Free Jacks it is only one game. The Free Jacks have their home opener in Quincy against Old Glory DC April 11.

Although 6-seconds off the fastest try in @usmlr history scored by dillon.smit for houstonsabercats back in 2022, the Free Jacks held the lead for over 79.5 minutes to advance to the Eastern Conference Final!
