Canada lose match to Baa-Baas

From the start of the game, The RC boys were in this one to win.  The level of play I thought exceeded anything they displayed when playing against USA.  That is what happens when you play better teams.  The Baa-baas were the better team on the night and they found the gaps and exploited them, usually for points.  DTH Van De Merwe played a game on par with any of the Baa-Baas last night and in my opinion the dominant player for Canada.

Weaknesses to build on are:

Tackles - I thought there were a few to many missed tackles and some of these created those gaps that the Baa-Baas used to punish Canada with metres or points.

Territory - Still playing too much of the game in the opponents half.  (But I don't want a kicking game!)

Magic - I know the team is not made up of 30th level Wood Elves, but there needs to be a little more of that ESP working... bonding further for the next month will help this I am sure.

Can't wait to see the boys play, practice and celebrate wins in New Zealand during the 2011 Rugby World Cup!

CAN - A - DA!  as the crowd was chanting in Gold Coast last night! 

FOXSports Australia provided the feed to us Canadians, really nice treat.  Lack of commentators might or any commercials likely the only way for them to broadcast to us.  It was interesting not have a time clock too.  Crowd was fun to listen to.  Cheers FOXSports!
