I was watching sportsnet this am before I headed off to work-where I sit now waiting to open up-bah.
Anyway,they were giving the Canadian schedule 3:30 am for most.Maybe I'll get up a couple hours early in Oct to watch Canada thrash the All Blacks. ;D

Canada is based in my home town.
I have tickets to all their games , so keep an eye out on telly for me wearing black. ;)

That should narrow it down ::) Why don't you strip to the waist,paint yourself,wear a funky hat and dance throughout the stands?That should get you on camera at least once. :)
-
Well done Canucks.
Canada just bet Tonga. 25-20
You were not supposed to win. ;D
-
I was watching the Can/Fra game at 5 am this morning.Canada was down 12 I think when I had to shut it down.I saw two guys in the crowd with ape suits and maple leafs,one of those wasn't you was it? :D
Oh yeah,I liked that swan dive over the board after that little tap by the frenchie.He must have thought he was in a soccer game :o
-
It was a good game.
Some of the outfits were as funny as hell.
Pity it pissed down with rain just as we got there. :(
Lucky we had a little bit of pre game juice in us to keep warm. ;)
-
I hope you had some post game juice as well :D I never did get the final score.I assume Canada lost.
Interestingly,every "Canadian" team member I've seen interviewed had a NZ or Aussie accent. ::)
-
Yes they lost. But they gave the French a hurry up.

Thats pretty normal amongst the smaller teams.
Japan has half a dozen , USA has a few.
I did think that most of the Canadian's were just that.
Even Aussie has quite a few kiwi players in the team. Bloody traitors.
Their "star" 1st five is a kiwi. And they can keep him. ;D
-
Did I mention that Australia got done by Ireland. ?
I have now. ;D
-
Yeah,I saw the tail end of that one-I figured you were out there cheering somewhere-or maybe doing a little dance.. :o
NZ ALL BLACKS BEST HAKA ( good audio! ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmPVoln22Cw#ws)

That doesnt look as impressive when a middle aged white guy with a beer pot does it. ;)
-
Oh,come on,let's see your version. :o :D
-
NZ beat France and France beat Canada.That means Canada is going to beat NZ right? :-[ Go Canada!!! 8)
-
I am going to the Canada V Japan game on Tuesday.
Should be a good even game.
Then we have a boys trip to Wellington on saturday to the NZ v Canada game on sunday.
We might go to the France v Tonga game on saturday if we can get tickets.
Should be a fun weekend. ;D
I watched the NZ v Canada game in Paris at the 91' world cup and Canada gave us a bit of a fright. :-X
Not sure about this time ford. ;)
-
So Canada tied Japan.It's a shame they couldn't convert anything.Regardless,as Japan was barely rated above them and have never won a game I guess that counts for something ::)
Anyhoo,that was just a warm up before they trounce New Zealand :D
They were talking about it on the radio here the other day and said Canada has 3 players who make a living at it-the rest are part timers who have day jobs.I'm betting the 3 are NZ/Aus players.
Come on TMKIWI-you're right there-chuck some ringers on the Canadian team for chrisakes :)
-
It's a pity the goal kicker was shit. The first choice kicker went off injured.
It was a bloody good game to watch and was just a pity for the canadians their kicks didnt go over.
Was probably a fair result tho.
I am not sure if there are any kiwis/Aussies in the team ( Probably is ) but there are a couple of South Africans..
Did you notice the names of some of the Japanese players. James Arlidge , Michael Leitch , M Williams . :o
Very Japanese. ;)
9 Kiwis in the team.
You guys don't need a bunch of has been/Never will be Kiwis & Aussies.
You just need a few of your players to get contracts in Europe and the standard will get better.
Your 13 & 15 will be a good start. ;D
-
I'm not proud,throw in a couple of has-beens. :D For that matter,maybe you could help them out too.We'd all watch for the beer gut ;D
-
:-[ :-[ :-[
They should have stopped the game after 5 min so Canada could win.
Failing that,the mercy rule should have kicked in later on :(
-
Just got back. Was a great weekend.
Sorry but no such thing as a mery rule. ;)
Went to the game with a couple of Canadian guys I played rugby with back in BC 20 years ago.
Was good catching up after all these years.
The game result was never going to mean much to both teams.
I sugested the teams sit down on half way and have a "boat race" to determine the winner. ;D
-
I like your way of thinking. ;D
