    Exactly my point. moving the BC kids to Ontario does nothing for BC.

    Or vice versa.

    The smaller / weaker provinces need help to foster the game. They don't need to be harvested.

    Thanks for the supporting point!

    By the way, with respect to your reffing point, that means your are just wrong...

    It was good to see the Canada side put together a better effort in the 2nd game against the US. But I'm not sure if it will be enough (I hope I'm wrong) when it comes to Japan and Tonga. Japan just ran Italy, a 6 Nations side that beat France this year, very close and eventually lost by a try. Tonga just beat Fiji again for the 2nd time. It will be interesting to see how we stand when Japan faces the US soon.

    Tonga/Fiji:

    Cdnrugbyfan, keep in mind Japan didn't play the full strength Italian team. If you compare the rosters, this team is somewhere in the middle between the Italians that beat France and the Italy A side we beat at the Churchill Cup.

    ... still don't like our chances though.

    Oh ok, thank you.....still trying to keep the optimism going, as our troops will need plenty of positive thinking to get them through the battles.

    Japan only beat the US 20-14 so maybe there is a little hope.

    can't read into this Japan USA result too much, neither team was fielding their strongest teams.

    Oh you are so wise oldmaster. It was a run out game giving players field time.

    On a side note, where was all the expansive rugby from Canada vs USA. Canada appeared unfit /sloppy and were fortunate to fall on a team that made bundles of errors.

    The ball better be a ball of soap when they play Japan and Tonga.
