‘Pretty dark right now’: Major League Rugby reels as two more teams face funding crunch

Major League Rugby, the US men's professional rugby union competition, is facing a funding crunch, with two more teams potentially facing uncertainty. The league has experienced a tumultuous week, with the merger of the San Diego Legion and RFC Los Angeles, and the exit of the NOLA Gold. This has reduced the competition to nine teams, and if the Utah Warriors and the newly-formed Miami franchise are unable to secure new funding, the league could be left with just seven teams. The CEO of the Utah Warriors has expressed confidence that they can find the necessary funds, but the situation remains "pretty dark right now" for the league.
