Starting in the West Conference, the two Chicago teams will face off with local bragging rights at stake.
The Lions have been very strong in recent seasons and have the benefit of having the bye week; but with the Griffins coming off an impressive first week victory, an exciting game is surely in store.
The Denver Barbarians will make the trip out west to take on OMBAC in their second week of action. Denver opened their account with a loss to San Francisco Golden Gate, while OMBAC will relish the thought of a home game as their trip to Old Puget Sound Beach didn’t go as planned last week.
OPSB will make the long trip to Dallas to take on the Harlequins. Dallas will be eager to make up for their slow start in Chicago and it will be interesting to see if Old Puget Sound will continue their high scoring start. Dallas is stronger at home than on the road, so it seems to be another intriguing matchup.
Over in the East, Life University and PAC start their 2010 RSL season (Life having the bye week and PAC being rained out in the first week of competition).
Life has been highly impressive in their season preparations and PAC will know they have their work cut out for them when they make the trip to Georgia.
NYAC makes the short trip up to New England to take on Boston. NYAC will be eager to avenge their preseason loss to Boston and both teams will be looking to start the season with a 2-0 record which would put them in a strong early position in the conference.
The final game in the East has the Boston Irish Wolfhounds on the road again, this time away to Charlotte.
BIW will be eager to show that their blanking by NYAC last week was not reflective of how the game went. They have little room for error as a second loss would put them in a major bind, especially when facing the surging Boston club the following week.
Charlotte has had a quiet preseason, so their first game will be a good indicator of how they are shaping up for 2010.
