The Austin Huns are set to host some of Utah's top rugby talent in a Major Rugby Championship matchup at Nixon Lane on Saturday, April 1.

Utah Select XV's roster is made up of five of the state's top senior men's teams: Park City Haggis, Utah Brothers, Salt Lake Spartans, Salt Lake City Gladiators, West Valley Lions, and players from Rugby Utah's NDA 7s program. The team opened its 2017 slate on March 11 in Colorado with a 94-17 loss to the Glendale Raptors, a team the Huns also fell to in February.
Since then, the Huns have been rolling and currently sit just one point shy of first place in the Red River Men's Division I standings. After making a series of major offseason acquisitions, the Huns' new-look roster has continued to jel under its world-renowned international coaching staff and improve each week.
Following their highly anticipated matchup with Utah Rugby Select XV, the Huns will travel to the Dallas Reds on Saturday, April 8, before returning home for a chance to avenge their previous defeat to the Glendale Raptors on Saturday, April 15. Both games are slated to be streamed live on FloRugby.
