Their coach Tim Walsh says the owner of the club came in after their first loss and said Mumbai usually has a slow start in every sport, but eventually finds their way back up.

“Our owner came in and said Mumbai home teams generally start very badly but they get better when the tournament goes on. So it was very positive to hear that information. So hopefully we pick up a few wins and make sure we’re in the top four.”

Meanwhile, in another match, Iowane Teba scored for Bengaluru Bravehearts in their 35-10 win against Rosko Specman’s Kalinga Black Tigers.
