The weekend lived up to the hype. The ABs and French were closer than the score showed with the game tied in the 2nd half before a horrible decision to give a yellow card without a review destroyed the French hopes. The Wallabies and Ireland was a close intense match with the Aussies ending the Ireland winning streak through great defence and clinical breakdowns. Finally the Boks England game was a close see sawing try fest with the South Africans coming out on top.
The Sevens was also excellent with Canada finishing 4th and South Africa winning the series on the last game. Overall Canada finished 9th which is a place lower than last year however is still a decent finish considering they were devastated by injuries and a top 10 place means they keep funding for next season (on a side note this is total crap by Rugby Canada).
