Canada defeated Spain in test on November 13th, 2010

Canada scored 8 tries for a decisive 60-22 victory over the hosting Spanish team.
“There's definitely excitement about playing any Test match and when you're playing a country for the first time,” Barnes said. “We're excited about the win, but there's obviously some disappointment with the late tries, so that's something we need to fix.” -forward coach Neil Barnes


On November 20th Canada played Georgia and lost 22-15.

"Our set play wasn't great," he offered.  "We put ourselves in a bad position - with some bad clearance kicks allowing Georgia to get close to our line and put us under pressure."

He says it wasn't until the final twenty minutes that Canada started to exert pressure and spread the ball to the backs.

"The last 20 minutes we played better but it was a bit too late," Crowley said.

"We have got to learn how to play teams around us in the rankings," he went on. "That (Georgia) team was  a pretty good sort of team so good on them to do what they did today."



So the next game for Canada is against Portugal this Saturday, November 27th, 2010.

I am sure there will be a strong recovery from the last game!   I hope I can catch the game online somewhere.  Go Canada Go!
