Former Vol Josh Shelter scores in first career MLR start.

Dallas defeated Anthem Rugby Carolina, 68-28, on Sunday in Major League Rugby.

Former Vol Josh Shetler made his first career MLR start. He scored a try during the 50th minute at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“What I’m really happy about is them growing as a team and us as a management group,” Anthem RC head coach Alama Ieremia said. “The adjustments made at halftime for every game so far has had a big impact, we just have to find the right recipe in terms of how we can compete from the start.”

2024 is the first season for Anthem RC competing in Major League Rugby. Shetler played on Tennessee’s national championship team in 2021.
