Canada was in it today, until about the 60th minute. They scored and we're seven down at 28-21. Then Ireland ran away with it and scored three quick tries and won 52-21. I've commented before about their last 15-20 minutes and how it's let them down. Today wasn't really different as they were within striking distance and then looked bad.
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...
