That was a fun game to watch! Its disappointing that the Canadians couldn't make more kicks and get the win, but they did well to play desperate and squeak out the tie. DTH Van der Merwe was great for Canada and he made some excellent runs. The Canadian defence could've been better, but they held up when it mattered most. Pretty clearly though the handling errors were a problem for them; Canada was in position a number of times only to knock the ball forward and let Japan off the hook. It was clearly not their best effort in that regard.
There were five CPers at Petes tonight and a few tables of rugby fans. Not bad for 10pm Monday night really. As always, Petes was thrilled to see us! Highlight of the night was probably when troutman told the waitress it was a double-header!
