Pool A - Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Tonga - Page 4

Apparently this match was sold out yesterday, I assume that'll be in part from a number of Tongan supporters travelling up from the Auckland area but still, thats an excellent result for Whangarei.

That's awesome. They spent quite a bit on improving Okara Park and increasing its capacity, so it's great to see this game supported so strongly.

And Canada score first!

Canucks putting on a very good show so far.

& the beards are resplendent. Top marks.

It's so much better watching a game where the commentators don't have any bias.

_Ed_ · 14-09-2011, 12:12 AM

Tonga take the lead! Sounds like an exciting game. Annoyed I'm stuck at work so can't watch it.

_Ed_ · 14-09-2011, 12:35 AM

Canada hit back with two tries!

Turbinator · 14-09-2011, 12:37 AM

And Canada back again with the lead! This sounds exciting. Too bad pretty much all of Canada is sleeping right now, unaware of such a game taking place. I found out about it myself 10 minutes ago when I checked the daily google news page.

Let's go boys, let's win this!

Hold on Canada

weeman27bob · 14-09-2011, 12:40 AM

All blacks going to have a severe test against Canada.

Hurricane · 14-09-2011, 12:43 AM

Well done Canucks

_Ed_ · 14-09-2011, 12:43 AM

Wow, congrats to Canada.

Turbinator · 14-09-2011, 12:44 AM

Woohooo

Got to wonder how much Friday night took out of the Tongans - not to shade the Canadian performance.

Yeah, good point.

Mixed feelings about this. I love a good upset, and this is definitely one of those, but the Tongan fans have really won me over this month and I feel sorry for them.

What about the few Canadian fans like me, who've stayed up till 3 am to catch the action?
