Late Toronto rally carries the Wolfpack past Dewsbury Rams in rugby league play
DEWSBURY, United Kingdom — A 70th-minute Gareth O’Brien try completed a late Toronto comeback as the Wolfpack rallied to defeat the Dewsbury Rams 22-17 in Betfred Championship rugby league play Sunday.
The O’Brien try was Toronto’s third in a five-minute span, rescuing a nervy afternoon for the league-leading Wolfpack (5-0-0) against a stubborn Dewsbury team.
“We’re just happy with the win. Not happy with the performance,” sad Toronto’s Bob Beswick, making the 400th appearance of his rugby league career.
Toronto coach Brian McDermott credited the Rams for their play.
