2021 – RD 8: Toronto Arrows v Rugby ATL

29 v 33

Recap

The Toronto Arrows are billed as the home team as they take on their 2021 ‘roommates’, Rugby ATL at Lupo Family Field.

The first 10 minutes of the game saw 3 tries scored. Two for the Arrows and one for ATL, who added another 2 tries towards the end of the half before adding another shortly after half-time to make the score 14-26 to the ‘away’ team…who were playing at their home arena.

Toronto battled back into the game with tries from Gaston Mieres in the 53rd minute, followed by another from Tomy de la Vega 10 minutes later. Only one of these was converted, but Tayler Adams added a penalty in the 75th minute to give the Arrows a 29-26 lead with a handful of time remaining. However, with the clock well into the red, a last-gasp attack from the RATLERS found a way through, with Ross Deacon dotting down in the 82nd minute to seal the win for Rugby ATL.
