Welcome to the "A" pool Japan!

No surprise here.  Japan secures spot in Pool "A" facing Canada, France, Tonga and New Zealand.

This is the best chance Canada has at a win since they left the last RWC with a tie against Japan.

Canada's mens side is training together now for the Churchill Cup in Denver, CO and NJ this June.  I am flying to NJ but leaving 2 days earlier than the playoffs are played.  Crap.

I am anxiously waiting for July, not because the Calgary Stampede is almost here, no, no, because this is when I we find out if we have secured our tickets.  It is such a long wait they burden us with!
