Winger DTH van der Merwe will see more than a few familiar faces Saturday when the expansion Los Angeles Giltinis take on the Toronto Arrows in Major League Rugby play.
Van der Merwe, Canada s all-time leading try-scorer, played with many of the Arrows for Canada. It will be nice to hopefully catch up with some of these guys, he said. Now that I m here in this league, I follow what they do and how they play a lot more than when I was overseas. It s good to see some of the guys really putting their hand up and playing well.
