After eight games on the road, Toronto Arrows bring pro rugby union to Toronto Globe_Sports

. Given the constant roster shuffling between the Canadian national team and the expansion Arrows during the Americas Rugby Championship, going .500 on the road is more than a decent start.“We were quite happy,” Arrows co-founder Bill Webb said. “We think we’re well-positioned for the home stretch. Our goal was to be at least .500. We could easily have been slightly better than that. A couple of games were really close.

Chris Silverthorn, the Arrows’ director of rugby, has added some New Zealand and Uruguayan talent to the Canadian core. “They’re playing for one another, they’re playing for their families,” he added. “The families have been incredibly enthusiastic and supportive because these guys are making a lot of sacrifices with travel and a busy training schedule.

New Orleans beat visiting Toronto 36-31 in the season opener for both Jan. 26. The Arrows, trailing 24-7 at the half, rallied for 24 points in the second half but their spirited comeback fell just short.New Orleans is captained by hooker Eric Howard, who is supported by fellow Canadian internationals Kyle Baillie and Hubert Buydens.
