Austin Gilgronis disqualified from MLR playoffs
By Ian Cameron
Major League Rugby (MLR) has announced that the Austin Gilgronis have been disqualified from the end-of-season playoffs after violating competition rules.
How they have violated the rules has not yet been made clear.
In a statement, the competition organisers said: "Due to a violation of league rules, the Austin Gilgronis have been disqualified from 2022 postseason play. Championship Series fixtures will be announced as they are determined."
The Gilgronis appeared to have secured a home semi-final at the weekend after defeating the San Diego Legion 44-28, but it all now appears in vain.
The club are yet to make an official comment on the decision.
The MLR's salary cap in 2020 was set at $500,000. Their roster includes the likes of US Eagles Bryce Campbell and Marcel Brache, as well as former All Blacks second row Isaac Ross.

I agree with a B+ rating for the ABs this year. That is a pass mark in a transition season. A new coach, loss of senior players, injuries, some bizarre refereeing calls at times and sometimes unlucky rubs of the green all conspired to deprive this side of the perfect record. I foresee better results next year. No panic just yet.
