2020 – RD 2: Toronto Arrows v Houston SaberCats

27 v 22

Report

The Toronto Arrows and Houston SaberCats put on a great rugby spectacle in Vegas when they met at Sam Boyd Stadium.

There was buckets of later drama, with the Arrows led 27-15 with 5 minuters to go when a yellow card to Tomy de la Vega took them down to 14 men. Shortly after this, a converted Houston try took the score to 27-22 with minutes to go and Houston on attack when a high tackle from Toronto lock Mike Sheppard resulted in a red card, sending the Canadian outfit down to 13 men with one play to go.

The ‘Cats kicked to the corner and set up a strong rolling maul that reached and crossed the try line……but the referee ruled that the ball had been held up, and that was the end of the game, with Toronto emerging 27-22 winners.
