Entertaining game (or as the Aussie commentator called it - "spicy?"). Too bad Pritchard got concussed, or Canada might have made more kicks and won the game. I thought the bearded-one fumbled the ball a few too many times. Number nine on Japan deserved an ass-kicking - little feller always sticking his nose in and yapping.

#13 for Canada was outstanding.

Rugby seems to have looser eligibility rules than FIFA. I counted maybe 4 Japanese players on that team. Is anyone that has tried sushi once in their life eligible to play for Japan?

Last night I dreamt I was in New Zealand, and Canada had too many injuries, and being the only Canadian citizen available, I was called into duty. I knocked on the ball after my first ruck, but next time I faked a pass to the right, then ran up the middle untouched for the winning points. Locke was on the team too. We sang Oh Canada, after upsetting the Springboks.
