    Thanks BCLock now I understand why no one is talking about it. If the scores had of been the other way there would be many posts about how weak rugby in west is. Well done Bears and Wolf Pack!

    LOL I was just thinking the same thing. Where are all the "BC is in decline" posters. Last year was an anomaly, the result of some poor coaching decisions. I like Mike but his heart wasn't in it last year. I don't know why?

    Why the hell is Simon Blanks still coaching ? He was a flop in Calgary with two different clubs.

    Blues 39 - BC 12. I was surpised BC kept it that close. Blues had a lot of international experience in the pack and BC none.

    It was actually Blues 46 - Bears 21.
    BC Kept giving away posession, whether through kicking, lineout losses, and general turnovers. Also, Connor Braid again played a horrible game, which reinforces my opinion of him being one of the most overrated players in Canada.

    The wolfpack game was not pretty site. First half the WP kept on kicking to the sidelines and missing and the Rock made them pay. Rock dominated the set pieces especially the scrum. At 1/2 it was 23-3 Rock. So many handling errors by both sides, would not call it preium rugby at all.
    Second 1/2, the Rock showed that they do not have the fitness in comparison. The WP started to put things in order, but again bad handling and decision making killed the game.

    Interesting that all four teams are now 1-1.
    Edge will go to Ontario and the Rock, because they will have home advantage now.

    Good to hear BC won its first game, too bad on the Second game. I am not sure if BC has the depth of players to take the CRC given that they finish with two games on the road. Guess it depends if the top guys are there or not. Anyways, Go BC.

    Nice to see BC competing and giving it a go with no expcuses. Props to the guys who are out there playing and representing.

    After watching the first 2 BC games the Bears might not have the depth to do it without their NSMT stars.

    Without Hamilton, the BC lineouts went from impeccable to disgraceful. BC lost 10 of their own line-outs! Hard to keep possession when you can't hit a 6'8 guy being boosted 5 feet off the ground.

    The back row was WEAK! Ontario capitalized on a back row who aren't capable of playing at that level. Missed tackles,poor awareness and poor decisions on attack was the story of the day for the new trio. Finding a replacement for a guy like Kleeburger is not easy, but the decision to sit Clarke for most of the game and Goddard for the entire game was shown to be a bad one. Against the Rock, Clarke was everywhere and made great decisions with the ball. Goddard was always in the right spot and was as hard a tackler/rucker and ball carrier as you would expect from a big number 8!

    The back line was a mess without Hiriyama. With Munro also on the WC roster I'm not sure BC has another 10 with the vision to win a CRC title. Possibly moving Wilson to 10 and finding another quality scrum-half could be an answer?

    Trainor was a beast against the Rock. Paired with Dolesau in the centers, they were lightning everytime the ball left Hiriyama's hands. Without Trainor....the score tells the story. I echo the sentiment of BCLock. People keep telling me CB's a great player, I must have just watched his 10 or so "off" games over the years. Watched 2 in the past 4 days.

    Kudos to the Ontario team. They capitalized on every break they had. Made their tackles and took advantage of a poorly organized Bears team.

    Curious decision by De Scossa to start Jake Hirst at 10, a guy who hasn't played very much rugby (high level or otherwise) in the last 12 months over Bryan 'The Mayor' Tyrer, who by the end of the season was the Meralomas first choice stand-off... Also Hirst has been around the block, and really never impressed. Tyrer is 21. Does he have a bright future? Maybe, but if you're going to bleed a guy like MacDonald at 8, why not Tyrer at 10 as well? For transparency's sake, I was told Tyrer was taken off the bench in favour of another forward. Wasn't at the game, so I'm not sure if this came back to haunt them or not.

    Hirst has had better games. the pace of the game seemed a little too fast for him. Although, Wilson could have helped him (and the rest of the back line)by getting him the ball a little quicker, so the Ontario defense would have less time to set up.

    Just re-read my earlier post and noticed it was EXTREMELY negative. I've criticized others in the past for similar tones!
    There were also some good performances turned in by some BC players.
    Nathan Mantle played a good game and made some big stops. For the second game in a row, I thought the BC scrum performed well against a much bigger/more experienced pack. Sean Duke played a solid game and I wish he could have been more involved on attack. The "Fijiian flyers" were something to watch on the few times they got the ball. Everytime one of them got the ball the crowd was on their feet! Very exciting!!

    I hope for more of game 1 and less of game 2 in Kelowna!

    "Swilers pack is crushing the Hornets pack".

    Perhaps you're just having some fun, but seriously Faust, does one second row player and two back row players constitute a "pack"?
    Cheers!

    Read the squad lsiting
    8 players from the Hornets and 9 from Swilers?
    Cho Hooker
    Massiah Lock
    Payette Flank
    Panga 8
    Buchanan Scrum1/2
    Blevins 13
    Pocock FB
    Wollnough Bench 18
    7 Starting 1 Bench
    3 of 8 forwards

    Seriously all of the Prairies and half of the starting team is from the Hornets. Either other teams did not encourage their players to try out or there is selection process is tainted.

    Interesting, what do you think the answer is? What is the WP mgt make up? Is it all Hornets or do you think the other clubs told their players not to try out?

    Bit of both. It is hard to come to Calgary from Edmonton and Saskatchewan on a work day. Just stupidity.

    With GM and JK running the show, I think they were more sided to players that they know. Plus the Hornets are doing quite well this year so on average they would have a higher number.

    I personally think that there is not enough accountability of CRU and the Kazakoff Dynasty.

    Simon Blanks coached the Rams and Canucks. Simon is a good guy, but not an elite coach. I do not think he even helped the Mavs.

    so a bit of both it sounds like. I thought the WP parachuted in an Aussie for the head coach job.

    Is the geophical region too big for the WP. Maybe they should be split into 2 teams....

    I think they will eventually split the teams up, but only as our rugby grows in popularity and skill. There's no point in having a bunch of teams, because then the competition wouldn't be as high level right now, and right now we can concentrate more fans per team. The Super League experiment proved all this.

    They did bring an Aussie coach. Don't what he does besides coach for few games. Mike Shelley was also the technical director.

    They are trying to revive the Gold Program. Do not what happened, but there was a big war between Rugby Canada vs ERU.

    I would rotate the games so it is not held in one city and most of all, not have it on a work day.
