‘I can’t explain this feeling’: Seawolves repeat as MLR Champions

The dream of back-to-back Major League Rugby championships came down to the final seconds.

But this championship run wasn’t finished until, literally, the final second.

That’s when 6-foot-5 Brad Tucker burrowed the final few yards for a title-clinching try and a 26-23 victory Sunday afternoon over the hometown San Diego Legion at Torero Stadium on the campus of the University of San Diego.

“This is the kind of thing you dream about, winning a rugby championship,’’ Tucker said. “I can’t explain this feeling.

“I knew I was over the line.

“We wanted to win the title and set the foundation for rugby in this country.’’

San Diego (12-4-1) had beaten Seattle (12-4-1) in both regular-season games.
