Chicago Hounds Head Coach Chris Latham has announced his roster for the Week 15 match against the Carolina Anthem. The game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. central time at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, and will be broadcast live on Fox Chicago+ and ESPN+.
The front row remains unchanged for the third consecutive week with Fakaosifolau Pifeleti, Dylan Fawsitt, and Charlie Abel starting. Liam Fletcher joins as a reserve prop, replacing Zurabi Zhvania in the No. 17 shirt, marking his first appearance since Week 11.
Hamish Bain returns to the starting lineup after missing recent selections, partnering with James Scott in the second row. Mac Jones and Lucas Rumball continue in their back row positions while Tavius Sykora-Matthess makes his debut MLR start at blindside flanker. Luke White and Matt Oworu are set to provide support from the bench.
In the backline, Noah Flesch replaces Ollie Devoto at inside center following Monday night's loss to Los Angeles. Jason Higgins and Chris Hilsenbeck pair up again as halfbacks, with rookie Peyton Wall maintaining his spot at No. 11. Noah Brown aims for his third try of the season from right wing.
Bryce Campbell will earn his 80th cap playing outside center on Saturday night. Tim Swiel retains fullback duties after two strong performances but continues to seek his first MLR try despite several successful carries.
Julian Dominguez re-enters the lineup for the first time since exiting early in week nine due to injury. Michael Baska and Adriaan Carelse complete the bench lineup.
