The first draw of the 2023 Major League Rugby season brings an end to the longest losing streak in Toronto Arrows history, having lost 7 games prior to this. This draw badly dents ATL’s playoff push in a closelt fough eastern conference race, and the team from Georgia is likely disappointed that they could secure the 5 point win.
At the time, while still 6th in the Eastern Conference, this draw lifted the Arrows above Chicago and Dallas in the battle at the bottom.
