Canada should be in the qualifiers. Look at the great strides they have taken to get where they are, and credit to ALL involved. I understand South Africa being involved, but What have they done in the last year, apart from appoint Gary Schofield as Manager?
As for Canada players what about Jamie Rooney(Barrow), Jason Demetriou(keighley) and Louis Robinson (Harlequins) I know that is 3 players but it is a start, and of course the Players in Canada who have represented the Country with great pride.
Canada should be there, and it is a shame they are not, so the best thing is to win there remaining 3 games, and prove Canada are no flash in the pan.

I can see the Wolverines beating the AMNRL X111 at least once.

I am not going to tempt fate but....

I think with the announcement of the televised second leg it will be important to make sure the first match remains competetive. Final training session before the 17 is announced is tomorrow..

Have the yanks announced a venue for the 1st leg yet? I know it's Phily, but where?

It's the same venue as the one used for the Donnybrook Cup game against Ireland earlier this year nad.

It's being played at the Charles Martin Stadium which is a high school stadium. It was planned for somewhere else but they moved it.

I'll be there so hopefully I'll be a good luck charm for the Wolverines.
