The Lineout Calls of the Week

This week we concern ourselves with the debacle that we sadly got to witness firsthand at York Lions Stadium here in Toronto last Saturday. We went to our first Arrows game of the season, their second, and sadly were bitterly disappointed by what happened on and off the pitch during the match. After the narrowContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

The Lineout Calls of the Week

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. The tournament featuring Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA resumesContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

The Lineout Calls of the Week

Now that we’ve had a chance to catch our breath after one of the most memorable Six Nations in a long time, we can reflect on a tournament that told us a lot about the State of Northern Hemisphere Rugby ahead of this year’s World Cup. Ireland emerged as Grand Slam Champions and with itContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

The Lineout Calls of the Week

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. A bunch of lads from Fiji turned the form book upside down last weekend in Lautoka and made history in one of the most enjoyable and infectiously joyous rugbyContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

The Lineout Calls of the Week

We apologise that last week’s Calls of the Week which was a mid-term review of the Six Nations got lost in a myriad of technical problems with this site. Fortunately that seems to have been resolved as we look forward to possibly THE most intriguing Round 4 of the Six Nations in a VERY longContinue reading “The Lineout Calls of the Week”

The Arrows story so far – our Exiles put up a brave fight!

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!”

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!”

Arrows make it six in a row and a playoff spot beckons!

In an emphatic 40-12 win over the Glendale Raptors at Lamport Stadium, the Toronto Arrows secure third spot in the league heading into the final game of the regular season this coming Sunday.

Toronto make it three in a row and build some serious momentum!

In Toronto’s first of four games at Lamport Stadium in the heart of downtown, they laid down a marker that they mean business for the rest of the season. In a gutsy fightback they ultimately stole the match at the death from the League’s top ranked team San Diego Legion. It was a nail bitingContinue reading “Toronto make it three in a row and build some serious momentum!”
