[QUOTE="Dai Perk, post: 951309, member: 78552"] My takeaway thoughts from the Fiji v Canada match: 1. Proud of the Canadian side. They showed a ton of courage and absolutely no fear, which in itself is something I never could have done. It looked like men vs. boys out there, but they never looked scared. 2. Number of American flags for the prior match? Zero as far as I could see. Canadian flags vs. Fiji? I mean, not a lot, but a noticeable number. Again, good on you, Canada. 3. Does Fiji seem... lazy? They came out with the attitude of, “Hey, we’re bigger and stronger and faster than you, so we’re gonna win,” but that doesn’t necessarily translate to set piece success or clean, error-free play... it just looked like it should have been a bigger rout than it was 4. Canada can NOT get a maul or a scrum together. If I was a Canadian fan, that’d be my biggest worry 5. Maybe most controversial, is Canada doomed by proximity to another tier 2 nation? Won’t Canada always be ‘USA Junior,’ given the populations and monetary investment possibilities? If you’re in charge of the national team in Canada, what is your realistic goal for the next few World Cups? [/QUOTE]
