While Major League Rugby in the USA has been called off, alongside most other rugby competitions that have been postponed due to the Corona virus, it gives us a chance to take some time out and enjoy a full match. On this occasion, it's San Diego Legion vs New York United, with some big names in action.

Ahead of kickoff, San Diego were the only remaining undefeated team going into the week five match.

But with former French international Mathieu Bastareaud and former England international Ben Foden in their ranks, NYCU were always going to pose a challenge.

With Bastareaud, reportedly weighing in at 130kg, now a fully-fledged number eight, it makes for interesting viewing.

This one went right down to the wire, so we won't give away the score here. Enjoy.
