The Other New Orleans football Club

Rugby Saint II · 07-11-2021, 01:24 PM

The NOLA Gold is the first professional rugby team in New Orleans. They have only been around a few years but they are already competing in the finals and are currently in second place. If you are jonesing for some football then give rugby a look and enjoy the fast pace of rugby until we get some preseason football.

If that is not an option then look up a rugby game and watch one on TV. It can initially be confusing but it's always exciting to watch especially if you enjoy proper tackling technique. Mods it's slow on the boards but if you need to move this from the Saints forum feel free but be sure to check out a rugby game regardless.

Are they televising the Gold's games? If so, linky?

Sorry Smash but my computer knowledge is limited and I don't have a link. If you find a game would you please drop the link on here for me?

Google a NOLA Gold rugby game and I'm sure that there are games out there just waiting for you. Great question though!

I've seen some of their league games on TV. Just can't remember what network.

ESPNU carries a lot of college rugby games. I've seen them on the other ESPN channels as well.

If you stream like I do, BT Sports is probably the best way to watch live Rugby ... this is how I view MotoGP/World Super Bike circuits.

With a trusted VPN of course

Second option is Peacock premium -- > https://tinyurl.com/2v9hdvu9

I have found rugby far more watchable than soccer/futbol, especially on TV. And I lived in Colombia for 2 years.

FS2 is broadcasting games. Must be where I saw it. They have the NOLA Gold vs Seattle Seawolves on tonight. I noticed while I was looking for the US vs Haiti in the Gold Cup.

I'll give any sport a chance as long as it doesn't have a bunch of political nonsense and kneelers playing it.

I like what I've seen of rugby and wouldn't mind watching more if I get the chance. This weekend I got my sports fix watching the Wimbledon championships and really enjoyed it.
