Dallas confirms addition of Colorado prop Marco Fepulea’i

Dallas have confirmed a ninth addition from the withdrawn Colorado Raptors. Tighthead prop Marco Fepulea’i has signed with the Jackals for the 2021 Major League Rugby season, following fellow front rowers Kelepi Fifita and Chad Gough to Texas.

Fepulea’i, 25, immediately established himself as the first choice No3 at Glendale when he arrived ahead of the 2019 campaign. The Samoa age grade international currently playing his fourth season of senior provincial rugby with Auckland in New Zealand’s Mitre 10 Cup.

There are now eight front row players contracted by Dallas, with another three props and one hooker on the extended roster. Fepulea’i and Fifita are joined by Skyler Adams, Kareem Odeh, and Will Burke at prop. Gough is one of three hookers, the others James Malcolm and Mike Brown.
