The quality of Major League Rugby is arguably at its peak, as evidenced by the close matches and high-scoring games in Week 3. This signals a new era for the league, where blowouts are becoming a thing of the past. Week 4 promises to deliver more thrilling battles with significant consequences for some clubs.

One highly anticipated match in Week 4 is between the Houston SaberCats and the Seattle Seawolves. This showdown between the top teams in the Western Conference, both undefeated, could have playoff implications.

The SaberCats, with a strong South African contingent, are serious contenders for the MLR title. The match will also be the first meeting since a blockbuster trade between the two teams in the offseason.

In the Eastern Conference, Reece MacDonald of the New England Free Jacks is in top form, scoring five tries in three games. His performance has helped the Free Jacks return to the top of the table.

However, the Free Jacks face a tough challenge from the Chicago Hounds, who are coming off the season's first draw.

The expansion teams, Miami Sharks and Anthem Rugby Carolina, are still adjusting to the league with winless records. Anthem, focused on developing talent for the national team, has shown promise despite some growing pains. Miami, on the other hand, struggles to find a consistent try scorer.

Their match this weekend will be an opportunity for both teams to showcase their progress and aim for their first win of the season.
