The Kohlfeld Scorpions Rugby Club suffered a 17-10 loss to the St. Louis Royals last weekend.
Scorers in the game for the Scorpions were Mike Stites and Marc Harris.
"Obviously, we don't like to lose the game," said Scorpions coach Tim Joplin. "But the team showed tremendous improvement from our previous game and we can use this disappointment as a springboard for future success."
The Scorpions will have a home game today, facing a team from Little Rock, Ark., at 2 p.m. at the Arena Park field on Hawthorne Road.
