just hearing the same thing, 70 year old referee, who refused to talk to the captains, apparently never once got them back 10 yards, astroturf pitch numerous sets of markings, no doctor, absolute shambles

Wow! Sounds like no shortage of motivation for Canada for the return fixture. It sounds like a complete amateur attempt at international RL!

In 3 weeks time we get to show the US how it should be done. A proper rugby pitch, a decent referee and live national TV coverage for starters. Oh, and no bloody Hurricane either.

Big blow for Canada as Captain Stephen Conlan broke his leg during the match and will be missing for the return game on Sept 17th.

Time to ditch them and for the RLIF to go with the USARL

I dont know, I wasnt there but sounds a bit like Sour grapes

nahh I cant be doing with the Niu 'everythings rosey' propaganda and as much as he's put into the sport over the years, if somethings wrong the RLIF need telling otherwise USA may not be going to the world cup in 2 years time
