It is great news there are 7000 Canadians getting into rugby. It is sad news the men's Union team can't even come close to those crowds.

Also I noticed they got a mention on CBC:

That made me lol! I hadn't looked at it before, but it does seem true. Sevens comes along, the Canadian women medal and mens team seems to find its footing internationally....UCB hates it because its not pure enough or just too different. This Toronto squad gets 7000 fans out and that's bad news because it's not great quality.

I don't know. I may or may not make the Canada/Georgia game at CRU, but it's full international rugby, should be a competitive game of 15's and I don't think that 7000 will turn up for that?
