4 straight quarter final appearances, 1st ever gold medal, can beat any team except Fiji and South Africa, and currently 7th in the rankings ahead of rugby nations like France, Wales, Scotland, and Argentina. Hiring Damien McGrath as coach has drastically improved the team and I don't consider the success this season to be a fluke.

I guess I measure a program (RC as an entire entity) by the results of the 15's.
It appears I am a dinosaur, and should look to change. To my mind the prestige is in 15's.
I don't believe 7's should be used as a yardstick to measure how the game is doing in Canada or how we rank internationally as a rugby nation.
I am proud of their results, but I don't think it indicates, by any stretch, that rugby is healthy in Canada. (which I find sad).
