doubt it, Dan's a commie!

Ok so finally I've seen the canada v usa highlights.

quite a few different accents in there.

3 things - canada, read this and learn.

1) No one has heard of a shoulder charge over there. Matai would simply leave these guys crying and whimpering in the corner!

2) When one of your players takes a hit up, you need someone in support. Don't all run back to the line waiting for the next run.

3) The same in defense, just because 2 guys have gone in for the tackle, don't turn your back and expect them to complete it!


CANADA V ENGLAND COMING UP!

Canadian Wolverines defeat the usa tomahawks! 36-20.

Looks like Canada finally has a jersey sponsor....Fosters.

Looks like they play with a rugby union ball though. :s

Canada 1 up in a 3 game series.

USA off to the world cup so this result is a bit of an upset.

Canada off to play Jamaica next.

....(Toronto) The Canada Wolverines enthralled the 7,200 strong crowd that came to witness the Wolverines claw back from two big deficits to overcome the USA Tomahawks 36 – 20. ......

I was sitting in the sun on Gabriola Island last week discussing the very merits of playing a game in Vancouver with my brother who's lived in Canada since the 60s. He thought it could draw a crowd of about 15K to 20K given all the Australians living in the vicinity. Lions fans might find it interesting. On the other hand I have always found it frustrating getting to see a Manly game on TV over there. There is a pay channel that broadcasts two games per week, rarely a Sea Eagles clash.

 

[globaleagle]

There's also the local league in and around vancouver. I think there's about 6 teams in all so hopefully those guys would come along for a look too.

Just a shame everything in on the east coast. All games seem to be played in toronto.

As for viewing, I just pay for sports net world which now shows all the games in HD each week. Sometimes they do it live (3am for me) and other times delayed (well that's the 2 options ge ya ironstine!!) So sometimes I have to be careful about the internet news so the results aren't spolt.

Gabriola Island...nice! I can almost see you if I stand on tippy toes! Enjoy the heat!

So I was at the gym tonight (pauses whilst you all laugh).....
......


And wearing my Manly jersey when a guy asks me how many rounds to go before the 'playoffs' and that he played for a bit for the UNE (uni of new england) - in armidale.

I said that'd be damn cold, he agreed...even for a Canadian.

Then he goes...so you follow Manly, I bet your friends give you a hard time!

(Jokes on him, I have no friends)

So even he has been indoctrinated into the 'no one should like Manly.'

I said, yeah but we don't care. They are kinda like the toronto maple leafs of (ice) hockey.

Anyway, nice guy, looked like a mini version of sbw. Asked about my thoughts re: benji going to union (damn that HM...lol), he knew a bit about sbw, etc.

Just nice to talk about footy to a live person rather than all you spambots!!

Tried to sign him up to a membership. Didn't work, yet!

(didn't know where this should go - not worthy of its own thread.)

I thought Benji was going to Union ?😛

Anyway, you should be wearing this badge - it will save the incessant arguments with the Non Believers.

yes yes yes yes yes...bUnji is going to union! (tis late)

And as you well know, I did mean gymnasium..working out place thingy.

(sheesh between you and clint hahaha)

I just think not many people in Canada stroll around wearing footy jerseys! (and by stroll around I mean working out furiously - obv) 😉

At least the guy played league, and not union.

Thanks for the pic!
