HOUSTON (KIAH) — The Houston SaberCats look to finish their regular season on a high note and gain some momentum heading into the Major League Rugby playoffs in Saturday’s match against Dallas, which will be broadcast on CW39.

Houston will face the Dallas Jackals on Saturday, June 29 at 7 p.m. at SaberCats Stadium. The game will also be broadcast on CW39.
