Recap

The Toronto Arrows travel to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Seawolves at Starfire Stadium in a repeat of the 2019 MLR Semi-final that saw the Seawolves defeat the Arrows to advance to the 2019 Major League Rugby final.

While the match up was the same, the result was very different. The Arrows led early from the boot of Sam Malcolm and despite Seattle scoring the first try 25 minutes in, they only held the lead for 7 minutes before Arrows Captain Dan Moor scored to give Toronto back the lead which they held on to for the rest of the game, emerging with a comfortable 17-39 win to hand Seattle their 3rd defeat on the trot and secure Toronto’s 3rd victory.

Sam Malcolm shined for the Arrows, setting an MLR record with his 9/9 performance from the tee. The highest 100% success rate in a single MLR match. At the conclusion of the 2022 MLR season, Malcolm’s 24pts was still T-2nd for in MLR history for points scored by a single player in an MLR game.
