Massachusetts professional rugby team, the New England Free Jacks, has completed the dynasty! They Beat the Houston SaberCats 28-22.

The Free Jacks, in front of 5,673 fans, mostly cheering for New England, led nearly the entire game.

However, it wasn’t easy by any means.

Last week, the Free Jacks overcame a 20-0 deficit in the Conference Championship, winning 21-20 against the Chicago Hounds to go to the title game.

In the history of National American sports, there have been 14 instances of three-peat champions; the Free Jacks now join the illustrious club.

The Free Jacks also became the first Major League Rugby team to win three championships.
