RFCLA returns home this Saturday night, chasing their fifth consecutive win of the season in front of what’s shaping up to be an electric, near-capacity crowd.

...results is one part of it, but a big part of the game is the entertainment side of it and that I also take seriously. I really think you can win and you can entertain.”

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rugby Football Club Los Angeles (RFCLA) returns home to Wallis Annenberg Stadium at UCLA this Saturday night, chasing their fifth consecutive win of the season in front of what’s shaping up to be an electric, near-capacity crowd. Kickoff is set for 7:00pm against a high-flying Utah Warriors side, who enter with a 4-1 record (they have had 2 bye weeks).

The action kicks off early with a rugby youth clinic at 4:30pm, led by RFCLA players and coaches, giving kids a chance to learn the game’s fundamentals from the pros. Gates open at 6:00pm with Family Night festivities in full swing — including the RFCLA Pass Challenge, face painting, merch crowd throws, and opportunities for young fans to join the pre-game Guard of Honor. Kids under 12 get in free, and the first 500 kids through the gates will receive a special gift.

On the field, RFCLA Head Coach Stephen Hoiles is determined to put on a show for fans with the club’s trademark expansive, entertaining style of play.
"I really think you can win and you can entertain," said Hoiles. "That's always been part of my rugby upbringing. You don't have to be negative or conservative to win games — but it takes time for teams to find their rhythm playing that way. It’s been really enjoyable watching our guys find their feet with it."

Saturday’s challenge comes in the form of a battle-tested Utah Warriors side that matches RFCLA’s win tally and brings their own brand of attacking rugby.
"They’re a really good side. I love watching them play," Hoiles added. "They probably kick more than people realize — and they’re smart with it. A lot of attacking kicks that force you to stay switched on defensively. They’ll challenge our defensive system in a very different way. We’ve got to get our legs fresh and lungs ready — this will be one of those games."
