Not sure if anyone is interested, but Canada v Wales will be on Setanta on Sunday at 7:30am EST. If Canada manages to beat Wales (which is a longshot to be honest) we will have a serious chance to make it to the knockout stages. Cheers!
... and the Pumas beat France today. Wow! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/6975751.stm http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/09/07/sports/EU-SPT-RUGU-WCup-Puma-Power.php An interesting start to the tourney! B
Yeah, that was a fun game to watch (unless you pull for France ). Good on Argentina though. They have had a really tough time getting repect in Rugby since the only other players to speak of in the Americas are the USA and Canada, and neither of our nations is nearly as good as Argentina. Cheers!
where's the canada game being played? i was on the rugby website last week and their ticket section is always blank!
They play in Nantes tomorrow. http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/story.html?id=1e944455-4ea0-4b5f-a8bc-fa984eb3ab7a&k=91196 It's on Sportsnet at 8am. B
I know Canada doesn't play Australia for a little while, but we need to visualize good things, so... Imagine if Canada was the Barbarians, and Australia was New Zealand...

Go Canada! Cheers!
Canada scores another try from an intercept from their own 2 metre line!!!!!!!! Convert successful! Wales 9 - 12 Canada!
Bad mistake by Canada costs us. Wales scores another try to take the lead. They convert the extra points. Wales 23 - 17 Canada.
Well, the wheels are coming off for Canada now. Wales scores another try, but misses the convert. Wales 28 - 17 Canada
Another try within two minutes for Wales and they make the convert. Canada is just collapsing now. Wales 35 - 17 Canada
Canada looks so tired out there, tackling is bad. Let's hope for another try to get the bonus point, and to maybe get within 7 too, I don't see a win coming out of this now.
Wales is running all over Canada now. Another try for Wales, and the convert is good. Wales 42 - 17 Canada. Kinda sad. Canada played so well up to the 55:00 minute mark.
Aye, I think this pretty much seals that Canada won't get out of the group stage. The score is what it is, but I think Canada deserves to be closer. They just are falling apart in the last 25 minutes...
They really needed to get the try there. Canada is starting to control the game somewhat again. Take out those 8 minutes or so when Wales made a bunch of substitutes and then made 4 trys I believe and Canada has really controlled this game.
The commentators are givng props to our squad since half our squad are amateur players... 78th minute now....
Game over. Final score: Wales 42 - 17 Canada. Despite what the score implies Canada did fairly well in this match. We just had a terrible run of allowing a bunch of Welsh tries after the 55:00 minute mark. We almost got the bonus point for scoring four tries, but Wales held firm at the end of the game. Cheers!
