Overall Canada just had no support for its players at that point, whereas the Irish were at each breakdown in numbers. Hopefully next weekend against Romania they can exact some revenge after last year's RWC defeat. Just to remind you, Canada was up 15-0 and Romania won 17-15...

It was great to see the Canadians taking on a top team in front of a huge crowd. Agreed they played great for the first 60 minutes. Keep in mind though it was basically the Irish B team.
I also caught the Wallabies vs Scotland and Argentina vs Wales. Both were great games with exciting finishes. The Northern Hemisphere tests have so far been much more entertaining than the Rugby Championship was.
