Canada's defense contained the USA

Great game last night by the Canadian National Mens Team, score was 27-7 in favour of Canada.  The boys put on a defensive clinic and showed the Eagles they haven't got what it takes to get by our boys. The only points put up on the board by USA, went under review by the TMO and they made the wrong call by allowing the try.  The ball was never touched down in my opinion.  It was in the air when the USA player Blaine Scully.

There was also a missed foot in touch by Todd Clever that preceded a penalty against Canada (in other parts of the world it is just called a USA penalty) or was it a yellow card.  The yellow cards were delivered freely by Mark Lawrence, not sure if he had been given specific instructions prior to the game or what.  The calls seemed to go against Canada most of the time, I am not complaining, that is just how it was.  Another area to work on boys!

Here is slo-mo of the questionable try by USA

The defense last night was stellar!  Canada contained the USA and only twice did they make the try line.  Most of the game was played in Canada's 22 and even the Universal Sports commentators suggested there was a force field in Canada's end.  Truly there was!  So boys, we need to work on territory!

Lastly the lineouts need a little work.  We can't be loosing them to USA, cause we are going to have tougher competition in Australia and soon at the RWC 2011.
