Rugby Canada to gain famous victory

November 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

You read it here first.

Rugby Canada have picked a considtent team from the one that took a hiding in Ireland. Wales have made 12 changes.

The Welsh will be ring rusty, the Canadians won’t be.

The welsh believe they should win, arrogance has been the key to many a welsh Rugby downfall.

The welsh play best with a passionate crowd, whilst 40,000 + is not small. The Millenium Stadium will not be on fire and neither will be Wales.

Canada are better than the result in Ireland, what price Wales taking a beating this weekend? Odds on if you ask me.

Rugby Canada to push Irish very close

November 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This weekend sees Ireland host Canada in their first test of the Northen Hemisphere Autumn.

Canada played a warm up match in Portugal last weekend and scored a reasonably comfortable 21 – 13 win. The Canadian management are pointing to an inexperienced team which is being groomed for the 2011 RWC in New Zealand.

I feel that this is a little piece of cunning on the Canadians behalf, this will be an Irish team that will be a little out of sorts for an hour. If Canada can show larger chunks of the form that won them the match in Portugal we could well be in for a bit of an upset in the emerald isle.
