Speaking of the ARC, did Canada seriously finish 5th after losses to Uruguay and Brazil? Seriously? Seriously? That is pathetic.

I note you haven't disagreed with my assessment of 7's.
I don't know what to say about RC. It is really tough for me, as I have a couple of friends in the senior 15's coaching set up and a couple of friends that work for RC in development positions.
That being said, I can't disagree. We are a mess when it comes to 15's and 7's on the men's side. The women's program is impressive to be honest. It consistently does well internationally in both 15's and 7's. It really is a head amazing that RC can produce a successful women's program and #### the bead on the men's side. Some of the selection decision for ARC were nusts, Barkwell. Really?
It really is sad days.
