Canada looked pretty good against the US tonight. They had one try called back (questionably in my opinion), and won 27-9. Should set them up well for the next leg next Saturday at BMO Field in Toronto. With a win next weekend (or a loss by 17 or less) Canada advances directly to the RWC in England in 2015.
Rugby Canada has grabbed Brian Burke to have on their board. Should be good to have a guy who knows the ins and outs of pro sports to give them some solid advice.

Yeah, I saw that as well. I hope his role is active and not just a figurehead.
I had no idea Burkie was a piggie.

Both men are young Canadian sports stars, hoping to carry the Maple Leaf to the pinnacle of international competition.
And though Sidney Crosby may have a better chance of winning when Team Canada fights for Olympic gold in 2014, it’s 24-year-old Nick Blevins who will be potentially playing in front of a bigger international audience as a representative of Canada’s national team at the 2015 Rugby World Cup
