To the average player in Canada, Rugby Canada looks like a big black box. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/another-accent-in-rugby-canada#post-1989 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:36:30 +0000 shack 1989@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>Oye !! </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/another-accent-in-rugby-canada#post-1987 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:17:38 +0000 pwharcourt 1987@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>As a born and bred Canadian I have read with interest this missile especially when I know the individual as He worked for Alberta Minor Rugby when I was its VP.

Does he have a master&#39;s in coach education? Is he a Level 5 coach? What National teams has he been associated with that would give evidence that he is educated enough to provide Canadian coaches with quality insight on the modern game. How soon before he sets up residence at SLS. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/another-accent-in-rugby-canada#post-1896 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:24:47 +0000 Harry Craig 1896@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>Get the best person available regardless of accent. I know there are good Canadians around and if they apply they should be hired but i would never disqualify someone based on their nationality. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/another-accent-in-rugby-canada#post-1895 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:02:57 +0000 Frank 1895@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>Rugby Canada has hired a new Coach Development Manger and it is no surprise that it is another Welshman. Are there no qualified Canadians or is it true that Canadians been beaten down by current board and administration and do not care enough to apply for these positions. </p>
