ArrowsRecap
The 2023 Major League Rugby season kicked off with the Toronto Arrows visiting the newly rebranded Rugby ATL to contest the Fire & Ice Cup!
Rugby ATL have never relinquished the trophy and this game was no different. Both teams shaking off offseason rust, but ATL taking their opportunities better against a pretty solid Toronto defence. The Arrows attack was lack ing for the majority of this game, but they did manage to salvage a losing BP from this game, scoring all 10 of their points within the last 5 minutes.
