Ontario Arrows defeat the Glendale Raptors in exhibition rugby play
TORONTO — The Ontario Arrows scored 19 unanswered points in the second half to defeat the Glendale Raptors 40-18 in exhibition rugby union play Sunday afternoon.
The Arrows, a beefed-up version of the Ontario Blues side from the Canadian Rugby Championship, are hoping to join the Denver-based Raptors in the pro Major League Rugby circuit in 2019.
Glendale (8-2-0) topped the seven-team table in the MLR’s first season, but lost the championship game 23-19 to the Seattle Seawolves in San Diego in July.
The game was played on a hot day before a small crowd at York Lions Stadium.
