Question

Should Canada be proud of their 64-13 loss to the ABs?

Answer 1

They played great defence in the first half and the scores weren't that far apart.

I think the margin at the end was more an endurance thing more than anything else. According to the pre game interviews, they played the game that they planned.

Overall I think Canada did play well and should hold their heads up high. They scored some great tries and certainly gave everything they had. And their ball handling was fairly controlled.

I live in Hamilton and ran into a few of their supporters today. they are pleased with the team.

Answer 2

yes...i thought they are gonna get the worst *** whooping by the ABs...but 64-13 is already good fro them...and llok at that intercept try by the fullback...

also compared to the Junior ABs game vs Australia A in the Pacific 6 nations Cup...Australia even got nil...50+ to Nil...so Canada should be proud of themselves.

Answer 3

they fell apart second half .

the all blacks are in a completely different leage than the rest of the world

Answer 4

yes they should,,, they held all blacks in the first half, but the was not our top team,

Answer 5

Yes. To keep the no1 team in the world and world cup favourites within 10pts at the half they should be proud and will take alot from the game. I cant wait to see them play the u21s

Answer 6

i really think they should, they kept a full strength NZ team to 64 points and only half their team is professional, THAT is an accomplishment

Answer 7

um.....................NO

Answer 8

yes very proud *cough cough*

Answer 9

Yes and no.  No because its a loss, but yes becuase Canada is a bit of a second tier team, but better than the United States, and a 64-13 loss to New Zealand is really not that bad, considering the ABs just pounded the ever loving c**p out of the French, and had a similar score.  (60-10 or in that neighborhood I believe) If France can have a result like that against the ABs, after France just winning the 6 Nations (albeit by points) then Canada should be proud of themselves for doing that well against NZ, who is considered the best team in the world right now.

Answer 10

no but they can be proud of their effort no team like to loose but they played a good game and they tried there best that's all that counts at the end of the day. and for a country like Canada to come out and played one of the worlds strongest teams I think they did really good well done Canada lift your heads and be proud from a AUSSIE good luck in the world cup and I think we should watch RSA in this world cup South Africa is hunger for this cup.
