Commentary
-And we're underway!
-Canada with VERY early try. Phil Mack recovers his own chip. No one home for the Eagles. Pritchard's kick is good. 7-0 to Canada less than a minute in.
-Canada pinged for offside. Wyles long kick misses.
-First scrum out of the way. Interesting to watch. The U.S. did alright.
-U.S. hit for coming in from the side. Pritchard's kick is good. Canada 10-0 USA with roughly 15 minutes gone.
-Jebb Sinclair penalized for a high tackle. The kick from Wyles is off the post. That's 6 points gone missing.
-Phil Mack looks to score his second try of the game but it's called back by obstruction. Great move by Evens none the less. Still 10-0.
-Kelly out, Roland Suniula in. Kelly was hurt earlier.
-Ref warning Canada for their second foul play infringement. Says one more and someone will go to the bin.
-Shawn Pittman pinged for taking out Mack at the breakdown. Pritchard's kick is good. 13-0 to Canada. Almost halftime.
-Brian Doyle on for Peter Dahl. Dahl looked hurt before the last scrum.
-Halftime. Canada has to be happy. 13-0 on the road. The U.S. needs to find something on offense.
-I just want to take this time to say thank you to everyone who supports the site. We couldn't do it without you. THANK YOU!
-Second half underway!
-U.S. earns a penalty from a very strong scrum. Wyles steps up and hits the kick. U.S.A. 3-13 Canada only a few minutes in the second half.
-Try to Canada. Harry Jones gets his team's second try of the game. U.S. missed a tackle earlier up field, allows Canada to get good position. Just a simple put through after that. Fry missed a tackle on DTH van der Merwe to set it all up. Pritchard's conversion is good. Canada 20-3 USA, 50 minutes in.
-Canada hit for offside. Wyles steps up and hits the kick. USA 6-20 Canada with 60 minutes gone.
-Van Der Merwe with Canada's third try. Strong movement in the open field from the Canadians. Good set piece. Pritchard's kick is good. Canada 27-6 USA with 15 minutes to go.
-Thiel is on for Fry. Folau Niua is on for Toby L'Estrange.
-Zach Fenoglio on for Chris Biller and Robbie Shaw on for Mike Petri.
-Lamositele is on the pitch! We have a new youngest Eagle!
-Good break from Folau NIua gives the U.S. their best movement of the night. A good series of play here.
-Canada penalized yet again. Wyles steps up and hits the penalty. U.S.A. 9-27 Canada with five minutes left.
-And that's full-time.
Canada 27-9 U.S.A.

it would be nice to see the game
ReplyDeleteoh well there is a good little league game on
USA Rugby mgmt wake up !!!
1st Half Observations
ReplyDelete1 - Anthems were pathetic.
2 - Petri (sweeping) and Wyles (deep) blow their defensive coverage and give up try within 30 seconds
3 - Eagles 9/10 combination are incompetent
4 - Canada winning the physicality battle
5 - Does Tolkin coach a helter skelter attack pattern because otherwise the Eagles don't have one.
