The Lions coasted through a maddeningly underwhelming Western Force side, and Canada claimed a well-deserved and hard-fought victory over Fiji on Wednesday. Brief reports and all the numbers are inside.
After waiting patiently for Rugby Canada to post the Edmonton game, time has run out so here’s the rundown on the other two games from the weekend. Poor form indeed.
So the dust has settled on this year’s Six Nations tournament, and Wales saved their best for last, crushing England to retain their title as champions. On to the Lions!
After a two week break the Six Nations returned on the weekend, but one would hardly notice given the lack of expansive rugby on offer. Maybe next week, we hope.
It was a good week for predictions, but not a great one for excitement, at least in the northern hemisphere. A dramatic match on Sunday saved an otherwise ordinary weekend.
