Well we have to say it last week wasn’t what we expected. For us, it was slightly disappointing on some fronts as a game we were eagerly anticipating ended up being one of the biggest anticlimaxes of the year as the Lions breezed by an invitational Aus/NZ XV. It highlighted to some extent the weaknessContinue reading “Lineout Calls of the Week and What to Watch and Why”

The Lineout Calls of the Week
We start this week’s piece with a heavy heart as we belatedly mourn the passing of a Canadian Rugby Icon, Toronto Arrows’ founder Bill Webb. Bill passed away at the end of August, and we deeply regret that it has taken us this long to get around to paying our tribute to such a nobleContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”
The Lineout Calls of the Week
First up, huge apologies that it is over a month since we last sat down to write.

First of all especially as it’s not one of our Calls of the Week this week, we want to give a HUGE shout out to Canada’s Women, who opened their Pacific Four series campaign earlier this month in Spain by thumping the USA 50-17.

As the Six Nations draws to a thundering close – let’s be honest is there anything else to really talk about? Well actually yes there is.

The Arrows 2021 season has so far been a bit of a rollercoaster. Arguably facing more than their fair share of hurdles to be even playing in the tournament at all as the only Canadian franchise, the Arrows have had a promising campaign at times but a glaring lack of consistency is clearly holding themContinue reading “The Arrows story so far – our Exiles put up a brave fight!”
The Six Nations takes a viral twist, Super Rugby starts to hit its straps and the Toronto Arrows are all systems go!
Excuse the silence but some of us have been taking some well earned breaks in the sunshine to get away from the Canadian winter. I had the particular privilege of watching France’s outstanding victory over Wales, in a particularly lively bar surrounded by French rugby fans on the island of St. Martin. The Six NationsContinue reading “The Six Nations takes a viral twist, Super Rugby starts to hit its straps and the Toronto Arrows are all systems go!”
Six Nations, Super Rugby and our own Arrows – it all just keeps getting better and better for Rugby fans this weekend!
If you thought last weekend was pretty epic then this one coming up looks to be even better, with the added bonus of the Toronto Arrows getting their MLR campaign underway. The Six Nations got off to a thrilling start and, despite the weather forecast for this Saturday, provides us two contests of titanic proportionsContinue reading “Six Nations, Super Rugby and our own Arrows – it all just keeps getting better and better for Rugby fans this weekend!”
7 wins in a row secures the Arrows a much sought after playoff spot after a hard fought battle with Rugby United New York!
In a titanic struggle with fellow playoff hopefuls Rugby United New York, the Toronto Arrows kept fans on the edge of their seats until a 77th minute drop goal from fly half Sam Malcolm would secure a 22-20 victory for the Arrows, and that coveted spot in the finals. Toronto will kick themselves for notContinue reading “7 wins in a row secures the Arrows a much sought after playoff spot after a hard fought battle with Rugby United New York!”
