My day started with the second half of the opening fixture, Scotland v Canada. Scotland matched the Canadians try for try in the second half but unfortunately they had taken a bit of a pounding in the first and lost the game 37 – 10. Canada looked sleek and powerful and played some lovely rugby a good outside bet in my book.
Next I caught up with Ireland’s other pool opponents USA and Kazakhstan with the USA eventually dominating this match as much as their highly vocal, and scantly clad, supporters dominated the touchlines, winning 51 – 0. It was hard not to feel a degree of sympathy for the Kazakhstan team as they had the USA rattled in the first half and were unfortunate to go in at half time 13 – 0 down. The USA found the gaps as their opponents tired and ran in a feast of tries in the closing quarter.
