The Matchup
Seattle Seawolves
The Seawolves feature a formidable pack led by captain JP Smith at loosehead prop, with South African imports Rhyno Herbst and Divan Rossouw providing set-piece stability. In the backs, fly-half Dorian Jones brings international experience as the playmaker, while Duncan Matthews and Mark Bennett offer strike power in the midfield. Fullback Andre Warner is a dangerous counter-attacker who can turn any broken play into points.
Head coach Allen Clarke has assembled a squad with strong domestic depth — LaRome White, Sean McNulty, and Mason Pedersen all carry the D-US designation, ensuring compliance with MLR’s domestic player requirements while maintaining quality throughout.
Old Glory DC
DC counters with experience and grit. Captain Richard Rose leads from the second row with co-vice captain Robert Harley providing leadership in the pack. The backline features Damien Hoyland — a proven try-scorer with international caps — and the versatile Jordan Jackson-Hope at fullback.
Fly-half Calixto Martinez, the Canadian international, will orchestrate Old Glory’s attack, while Tevita Naqali adds physicality in the centers. Head coach Stan South has a deep bench to work with, including the promising Connor Devos and veteran John Rizzo.
Breaking Down the Odds
Moneyline
Seattle is a clear favorite across all books, but the prices vary significantly. DraftKings at -295 is the softest line on the Seawolves — nearly 100 points shorter than Caesars and Fanatics at -400. For Old Glory upset backers, FanDuel’s +320 is the best price available, followed by Caesars at +280 and DraftKings at +250.
Spread
All three books posting spreads have settled at Seattle -8.5, but the juice differs. FanDuel at -106/-116 offers the best value on both sides. Caesars and Fanatics are slightly worse for Seattle backers at -115 and -110, respectively. If you believe Old Glory can keep it within a converted try, FanDuel’s +8.5 (-116) is the play.
Three-Way Market
For those who like the draw, Caesars at +1800 offers the best price, with FanDuel at +2500 and DraftKings at +2200. Draws are rare in rugby but not impossible — a disciplined defensive performance from either side could produce a low-scoring affair.
