While never bearing the same all-out agression from both fans and players as the rivalry with Montreal, Toronto is a long-time opponent of the Rochester Rhinos. Though back in the A-League days, the Rhinos played against the Toronto Lynx, the city has provided a tough local rival through the years and tonight should be no different.
Similar to Rochester's matches against RBNY II and FC Montreal, the task ahead of the Rochester Rhinos depends on the reinforcements sent down from Toronto FC. In 5 games so far this USL season, TFC II has used have the following players on loan from the mothership:
Jordan Hamilton - 4
Quillan Roberts -2
Chris Manella - 4
Ashtone Morgan - 1
Jay Chapman - 4
Manuel Aparicio - 5
Alex Bono -3
Anthony Osorio - 1
