Good kicking practice for Elton today.
We should set up a few drop goals as well.

It was always going to be a massacre... even if they kept the 15 men, we probably had a good shot at putting a bigger score up against them than NZ did earlier in the world cup (63-0).
I agree it was always going to be a massacre. Just saying that now we might get a 100 against them.

No surprises really. They achieved one solitary log point in the Pacific Nations Cup this year. I believe it was their first time participating as well. They will be better for it with more exposure.

I remember in the '95 World Cup they actually gave the Boks a run for their money. Looks like they went backwards since then :)

Nah, in all honesty I would say the rest of the Rugby World has moved on in leaps and bounds and its a game that Canada struggle to play, or play well.

Was watching some old rugby highlights recently - it's crazy how much the game has changed. Don't think the players of 20 years ago would be able to keep up, although they would probably all be sent off for dangerous tackles :ROFL:

I can accept giving away a try or two, but only if we're really trying out some fancy moves.
If it's just because we're defending like boknaai, then ai.

And discipline, from what I remember the game was more undisciplined as well, even near your own try line penalties were given away.

I'm starting to like the Canadians, such friendly people. Every time they have the ball they kick it back to us.

Score 66-7 now.
