Kickoff Podcast EP88: The Lightning of a Giltinis and Free Jacks Ride in Los Angeles Ft. John Poland

Week seven is over and the playoff picture in the West is setting up for the Giltinis. Their fitness, quickness, and physicality has made them the outright contender for the MLR Shield. While the East is a tough division, it’s unknown who will come out on top. But New York sits above the rest. Dan and Pete break down the performances from week seven and how that will effect week eights match ups.

John Poland, scrum-half for the New England Free Jacks joins the show following his outstanding performance against the San Diego Legion. John came through the Munster Academy, unsure of what he would do when he graduated from the University College Cork, he got a call from Conor Kindregan to see if he would be interested in helping start up an expansion franchise. After some thought, Poland felt that this would be a way to reignite his love of the game while still accomplishing his goal of being a professional rugby player.
