Canada vs. U.S.A. RWCQ 2nd leg, 24/08/13

Does anybody see any reason not to award that try to the hooker, Biller? I couldn't but can't tell if it's cause of personal bias or something.

Edit... ah well damn 5 meter scrum time.

 

[canadafan]

No try.

 

[Tony Manx]

Right decision on the try................

 

[canadafan]

Ref really calling the scrums tight today.

 

[dudeabides]

I know last week every scrum feed could've been a penalty for both sides.

 

[dudeabides]

The American wings were looking good there Hume as well as Ngwenya, finally got a try. Too bad Wyles missed the conversion but it was out pretty wide.

 

[canadafan]

USA with the first try.

 

[Tony Manx]

Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

 

[canadafan]

Canada need to wake up big time here.

 

[dudeabides]

Pritchard with a long penalty to make it a 2 point contest, penalty was against Suniula.

By the way does anybody else hear a lot of static in the audio? Video is great though just wondering if it was my computer speakers at fault.

 

[canadafan]

That was a message to the Yanks, how far behind they are.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

US wingers look dangerous, we all know about Ngwenya but also this Hume chap has some wheels. Which NCAA football program was he poached from

 

[canadafan]

Canada with the try.

 

[dudeabides]

US has a lot of difficulty tackling that flyhalf. Want to trade for L'estrange? Heh heh, I kid for sure... about being able to trade not ah wanting to.

Don't think he ever played it, he's Australian originally and has played Rugby league and of course 7s.


Edit: Canada is doing everything right but the passing at this point it could be a lot worse than a 3 point deficit.

 

[canadafan]

Canada have settled down, but simply errors are costing them scores.

 

[dudeabides]

Wyles knotted it up right before the half after that offsides penalty, 8-8.

 

[CDN_Rugby]

Pretty brutal half of rugby by Canada there, they need to smarten up at the scrum and lineout. Maybe swap Hearn (who, again, has played decent) for Mackenzie and swap Mackenzie for DTH. The backline needs a shakeup.

Missing Buydens, Cudmore, and Ardron a lot in the forwards too.

 

[canadafan]

Agree, even though Hearn helped set up that try and saved one. Think Mack is having a poor game too.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Think Mack is having a poor game too.

I knew I shouldn't have praised him so highly last week.
Did the same with O'Toole a few seasons ago

 

[CDN_Rugby]

Barkwill needs to get his **** together in the lineouts.

 

[canadafan]

Yeah the line out is killing us today, that is what's keeping the Yanks in it, IMO.

 

[CDN_Rugby]

This is quite possibly the worst game of rugby ever played.

 

[canadafan]

Touch judges blowing calls isn't helping either.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Best play of the game so far, this!
TMO for a Canadian try

 

[Tony Manx]

Game set and match..........................good luck in Montevideo Zee................when is that scheduled for?

 

[canadafan]

White on for Mack.

 

[dudeabides]

Eagles got about as close as you could possibly get to the tryline before... another turnover.

 

[canadafan]

Game set and match..........................good luck in Montevideo Zee................when is that scheduled for?

Next March or April I believe.

 

[canadafan]

Dala in the Sin Bin.

 

[canadafan]

Quite a dire game.
