Snow definitely affects the game in Canada and it is one of the reasons why rugby has been hindered in development in this country. This is because due to weather and the size of the country club seasons differ from region to region. Realistically in some places rugby can only be played for 4 or 5 months of the year. This isn't really due to the snow because I have played plenty of rugby in snow and sleet before. It is mostly due to the extreme drop in temperature. You try playing rugby in the middle of january when its
-30c with a windchill of -45 to -50 and you will find its impossible. My high school team ebcause of climate was forced to train indoors for 2 and 1/2 months and only got 2 weeks on the pitch before our first game because of the weather.[/b]

I know amazing Canada, this country has quite beautiful but also savage winter

Long live to Canada rugby bro, even in winter :cheers:
