ArrowsRecap
The second semifinal in the 2019 Major League Rugby competition saw the 3rd seeded Toronto Arrows travel west to face the reigning MLR champs, the 2nd seeded Seattle Seawolves. This game is the first playoff appearance for the Toronto Arrows after a strong performance in their opening season.
The Arrows fell to a 20-0 deficit before fighting their way back to a 23-17 game with just over 15 minutes to go. A 68th minute yellow card to Peter Milazzo AND penalty try awarded to Seattle took the score to 30-17, and out of reach for the league’s only Canadian team. The Seawolves book their place in the 2019 MLR final against the San Diego Legion, their 2018 Semifinal opponents.
