@RugbyCanada Well done, lads! Difficult conditions but good game management from the boys in red to get a much needed W. All in all not a bad campaign from the inaugural Nations Cup with one win and one draw. Good foundation to build on as we head into a RWC year. Let’s go 🇨🇦!

@BCRugbyNews Disappointing news re Phil Mack if confirmed.

[Tier 2 Rugby @T2Rugby]

USA Rugby ought to feel ashamed for stabbing Canada in the back here.

[Bryan Ray @raysrugby]

Still a great tournament from Canada. Will never forget that win over NZ. Thanks to Kevin Rouet and staff, and to all the players. Hopefully this inspires some future Canadian World Cup stars.

[Tier 2 Rugby @T2Rugby]

Yep. 🇨🇦 Canada women's achievement getting this far on a tiny slither of the budget of Tier 1 Unions is still one of the most remarkable stories in the sport.
