Major League Rugby confirm Dallas Jackals will not compete in 2025

The Dallas Jackals

Major League Rugby has confirmed that the Dallas Jackals will not compete in the 2025 competition due to the club ‘evaluating a controlling interest transfer’.

Joining the league for the 2022 season following a delayed launch, the Jackals have shown steady progress, completing their best season in 2024 with six wins in the regular season.

This strong regular season continued into the playoffs, when the Jackals defeated the Houston SabreCats, league leaders and state rivals, in the Western Conference semi-finals.

Since then, rumours have swirled about their future in the competition, with the MLR confirming in a recent statement that the club have informed them that they will not be competing in 2025.

“The Dallas Jackals have informed the league that they will not participate in the 2025 competition. They are continuing to evaluate a controlling interest transfer, which will not be complete in time for them to plan for and compete in 2025. MLR will continue to work with Dallas leadership on transition plans in the days and weeks ahead.   Our focus is on the team, its players and planning for another successful MLR season in 2025. An announcement about the player dispersal process will be shared soon.” The MLR wrote.

Dallas follows Rugby New York, the LA Giltinis, Toronto Arrows, and Austin Gilgronis as the sides that have exited the league in recent seasons.

Mhmm.. I see the team has a lot of Argentines, I wonder if the group, who seem like a good group if not of pure wealth themselves, was heavily funded by Argentina, and that his could be a sign they are exiting MLR for SR?


Seems like they play at a baseball park. Hope the owner can find someone to run it.

I think the owner is Marcos Galperin, probably the richest person in Argentina. A “true” billionaire. I may have it wrong, but don’t think so.

My elation knew no bounds as my earnings began to surge higher. Intrigued, I increased my investment. This investment firm assured me that I could retrieve my profits after two months. Upon the expiration of those eight weeks, I attempted to access my invested capital, only to discover I was locked out of my account. My cryptocurrency investment had been compromised, and I was then instructed to remit a substantial sum to regain full access to my investment. I was utterly bewildered, as the amount demanded was exorbitant. I implored them to deduct the necessary sum, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. I then sought alternative methods to recover my hijacked crypto assets as time was going by, and my business capital, which I tampered with, was crumbling. I engaged with several crypto recovery specialists, but they all absconded with my funds, leaving me deep in debt. I cannot precisely recall how I encountered META TECH RECOVERY PRO, though I believe it was through Facebook. I contacted them, outlining my situation, and they assured me of a successful recovery, along with a forensic analysis of the data I provided. I harbored some skepticism during my interactions with META TECH RECOVERY PRO, yet they ultimately upheld their commitments. I successfully recovered my hijacked crypto assets, which were returned to my digital wallet. Kudos to the team of META TECH RECOVERY PRO, I really applaud their expertise.

Thank you.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

Those involved with the law making say otherwise. The intention was 5-3 with a 9,10 and other utility bak. Anyone involved with the law making agree with your position? Nope….

It was some really excellent passing, and reasonable, well excecuted kicking, like he’s getting more comfortable as a playmaker. Actually what I mean to say is he seems to be decided between passing, kicking, and when to pin his ears back like normal, more seemlessly/faster.


We might just be projecting though because we know Razor wants him to be a bit of a 15 that can play tactically from the back or up in the line too? Maybe he’s the same as normal when in form.

For sure, and I conclude that the law does reflect the intention as it is. Chill out.

The more obvious deduction is that Owen Doyle’s opinion never made it it into the final draft, isn’t it?


Presumably because it did not gain enough support.


So I’ll keep my powder dry and believe that the law does already reflect the intention behind it - thanks.

'Their eyes lit up': Ben and Tom Curry relishing Jack Willis test

In 2024, I received a substantial tax refund, which I saw as a golden opportunity to improve my financial situation. Eager to invest, I became interested in Bitcoin, a digital currency that many believe represents the future of finance. Unfortunately, my excitement led me to a fraudulent company that promised incredible returns on investments. Their persuasive tactics and seemingly legitimate operations drew me in, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been deceived, and my hard-earned money $572,000 had vanished.Feeling devastated and hopeless after losing such a significant amount, I reached out to a friend who had faced a similar ordeal. They recommended a company called GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , which specializes in recovering lost Bitcoin. Although I was skeptical, my desperation pushed me to contact them for help.From the very first interaction with GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , I was impressed by their understanding and willingness to help. Their team guided me through the recovery process, providing the support I needed during this challenging time. They explained each step clearly and kept me informed throughout the entire journey. Their dedication rekindled my hope of recovering my lost funds.Thanks to the diligent efforts of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , I was able to reclaim my stolen Bitcoin. This experience not only restored my financial situation but also taught me invaluable lessons about the importance of conducting thorough research before making any investments. I now have a solid investment strategy in place and am much more cautious about where I allocate my funds.I want to emphasize the importance of being vigilant in the world of cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin offers tremendous potential as an investment, it also attracts scammers looking to exploit unsuspecting individuals. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly encourage you to seek help from a trustworthy recovery service like GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES .Investing in Bitcoin can be a rewarding venture, but it is crucial to approach it with caution. Always perform comprehensive research and remain skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true,but if fallen victim to scam a GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES is available for you.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)

All you’ve done is make an ass of yourself twice over.


First, by assuming that everything Owen Doyle says is correct. I’d be surprised if you can find someone to support that version of events.


Second, by doubling down and assuming that existing Law does not reflect WR’s intention. The law is black and white, and it says nothing about a 5/3 bench being mandatory.


Sorry, but you’ve travelled to the far side of Stupid on this one.

Leinster player ratings vs Scarlets | 2024/25 URC

Gunne and Byrne had poor games. Gunnes kiking was often short.

Soroka was pretty immense.

Suprized that ref has been reinstated after bing ‘rested’ after a few terrible games early season. Two kollapsed mauls as Leinster was inside the 5 metre line and pushing to skore. No kard. Byrne hit so so late: ‘do that again and ill book you…eh wtf?’

Too many errors did it for them. they should have wrapped up 1st plae there.
