I'll have guests in town and was just hoping to maybe squeeze in an Axmen game before the USMNT match.

Jaguars to honor Axemen for national title

The Jaguars will recognize the Jacksonville Axemen for their USA Rugby League national championship victory during Thursday's preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons at EverBank Field.

The Axemen defeated the Boston 13s 28-22 on Saturday for their second national title in three years.

The Jaguars have invited the rugby team to take the field during the first quarter of Thursday's game to be congratulated in front of the Jaguars' fans.

"The Jags have been an incredible supporter of the Axemen since day one," said Axemen co-founder Spinner Howland. "They came to our rescue in our early seasons when we needed an alternate place to hold a training camp scrimmage by offering their practice venue. That support has continued in a variety of ways ever since."

Kickoff of Thursday's game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

They were recognized at the Jags game last night. They got a pretty raucous cheer. This guy in front of my said the Jags should put them out on the field to play.

Atlantic Cup Tournament will be held over a one week period.  Currently still in talks but it looks like there will be at least 4 other teams visiting from, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
