    For those still starved of rugby... Half time now, whoever wins will be in our RWC pool.

    8-8 at half time, only caught the last few minutes of the half where the Canadians hit the post with a penalty and the Yanks scored one.

    Canada would be good value. You definitely want a few tougher pool games, rather than cakewalks before the knockout stages.

    Unless the Yanks win by a cricket score it'll be Canada in our pool in the WC, they won fairly convincingly in the first leg of the playoffs in Charleston South Carolina last week

    Ah, Meghan Mutrie. She did a SXV show a couple of seasons back (which I watched for purely rugby reasons).

    I know there would have been plenty of ex-pats at the game, but it's kind of disappointing to see how few are at this match compared to the Irish one.

    Try for Canada in the corner after they butchered two previous overlaps

    Finishes 13-11 to Canada. So they're in our pool.

    Have the USA taught themselves the rules of the game since their game with us?

    Shoulder charges were flying in from both sides to be honest. You could see the ref getting fairly pissed off about it towards the end.

    Highlights of the game are up on the rugby Canada youtube page:

    Someone mentioned the poor attendance, but there were 10,000 at it which isn't bad at all on a summer weekend when a lot of people would be away. I was at the Ireland vs Canada match a while back and a friend there mentioned that last year they only got around 3/4,000 to the Canada vs USA game, so they've done a very good job this time to get 10k
