Watch the Free Jacks Defend Their Title at Kilroy Square Watch Party

The New England Free Jacks are gearing up to defend their Major League Rugby (MLR) title for a second consecutive year. They will face the Seattle Seawolves in the championship match on Sunday, August 4, in San Diego, California. The game kicks off at 4 p.m. ET.

For those unable to make it to the game, the City of Quincy and the Quincy Chamber of Commerce are hosting an official watch party at Kilroy Square Farmers Market in Quincy Center. The event begins at 3:00 p.m., an hour before kickoff, and promises a lively atmosphere. Fans can catch all the action on a massive 30-foot TV while enjoying drinks from the Widowmaker Brewing Beer Garden and a variety of delicious food options. It's a perfect opportunity for Free Jacks supporters to come together and cheer on the home team as they compete for the MLR Championship title.
