HOUSTON - The Toronto Arrows survived a stubborn Houston defence to defeat the SaberCats 19-10 in Major League Rugby play Saturday night.
The Arrows dominated the first half but only led 12-3 at the half thanks to some hard-nosed Houston defending.
Trailing 19-3, the SaberCats made it interesting in the 75th minute when Cecil Garber charged down a Pat Parfrey kick deep in the Toronto end and got to the ball first for a converted try that cut the lead to 19-10.

I d been watching the league while I was in the U.K. still and I was kind of at a crossroads with where I wanted to go next, said the 28-year-old from Godmanchester, Que. And then when the MLR kind of popped up, I looked at all the cities and I said Where is the place I d least likely end up?
