Rugby World Cup - Canada vs New Zealand

It's a game you can't miss as a Canadian, in NZ.  Didn't catch it live, in the stadium, but at least live on TV.

  • Less than 3 minutes into the game, and Canada scores the first few points with a penalty kick.  3 pts on the board, and leading New Zealand! Yay!!  It's looking good.
  • Then Canada loses its lead at about the 7 min mark - new score 7 - 3 for New Zealand.
  • A whole bunch of other points were scored by New Zealand, and just before the end of the first half, Canada scores their first try - score is now 37 - 8 entering the second half.
  • Canada scores the first try of the second half...NICE! 37 - 15, New Zealand leads.
  • Shortly after that, NZ answers with 7 points -> 44 - 15
  • Final outcome - 79 - 15 New Zealand wins.  Not surprising, but Canada did put up a good fight.  Good job Canada.  The match included a head on collision with Canada's captain, and one of the New Zealand players.  Ouch!
