Game play continues, Team Canada scores a try, and they also miss the conversion. 5 – 5.

Game action, Canada scores again, this time hitting the conversion. 12 – 5 at the half.

  • I shot some high school Rugby for work - call me a dumb American, but I could not for the life of me figure out what the hell was going on ! What a crazy brutal sport. Of course I took into account that the American High Schools may not play the purest form of Rugby - there were some Brits watching who were laughing their heads off.

    And of course I am not one who follows sport much.
