The Toronto Arrows will not participate in the 2024 Major League Rugby (MLR) season, as confirmed by the MLR. This decision is seen as a significant setback for Canadian rugby. The team's folding is attributed to the challenges faced following the passing of Bill Webb. The news comes amidst discussions on various rugby topics, including England's back-row injuries, struggles of Gloucester and Bristol, and the 20th anniversary of the World Cup, featured in The Ruck podcast. Additionally, there is praise for Sale and discussions on wingers and back rowers in the rugby community.
