JEBB SINCLAIR STARTS FOR STORMERS
Posted 2012-May-18 14:37
Canada's, Jebb Sinclair has earned a start with League leading Stormers of the Super XIV, South African conference. Jebb was called in last week from London Irish to help fill injury voids, including Schalk Burger in the Stormers loose trio. He came off the bench for a good portion of the game to replace yet another injured backrower (Carr) and obviously caught coach, Coetzee's attention to make the call to start this week against the Waratahs from Oz. Also noted in this game is Brian Habana's 100th Super XIV game. It promises to be a rugged test as the Tahs did a much better job against the Bulls pack last, still it was a losing cause. This match is being telecast on Sentanta on Saturday 2 :00 p.m. Go, Jebbediah, go!
CANADA SELECTS FOR SUMMER TEST SERIES
Posted 2012-May-17 14:28
MIA - C. O'TOOLE
A selection of experienced and up and comers has been announced by Rugby Canada coach, Kieran Crowley, for the summer Test Series. CW is very happy for a number of lads who are currently or have recently worn the Tricolors. Pundits will question some absences in the selected party of twenty seven notably Hirayama and Marshall. Reasons of course, are only known by the selectors. One can understand Cudmore's absence and perhaps there are a few rank "outsiders" that were considered. The opposition of USA and Italy and appearing in Vancouver, Georgia, will be a good benchmark for this squad. CW takes this opportunity to wish ALL PLAYERS and COACHING STAFF well for these games. GO, CANADA, GO!
THEY CAME, THEY CONQUERED

Newfoundland's Rock gave a rather "disheveled" Ceedub team its comeuppance last night, winning by a score of 42 - 14. On a most pleasant evening a cobbled, local outfit was pitted against the Rock on their second annual west coast swing. It was great to host them and a pity a more serious combination was not on the field. Ciaran Hearn opened the scoring with a slick dummy and closed the scoring on a wide-out convert, a total of 22 points in all. All players gave of their best to produce running rugby and the defense was certainly serious enough until the locals ran out off steam. The Rock's seven try performance augers well for their upcoming summer campaign and we wish them well. That old crafty master, Pat Parfrey along with Simon Blanks has this group playing "good footie".
For the winners, their front row was solid throughout, causing havoc amongst CW's FRF. I was impressed by performances from Phelan, Coughlin and Daumer look alike, Cadigan. Good to see Morris back at The Park and all their backs handled slickly and were not afraid to have a go. The tries came from continuity and retention on attack, with good support lines from the forwards "close in". Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, O'Toole did not make an appearance.
For CW Kehoe, Jenkins, Alexander and McCloskey were noticeable. Thornber kept it going all night and Ilnicki was MoM, running himself into the ground in an ofttimes, solo effort. Captain Goodland gave it a go in a cameo but one always remembers his best. The closest it got was 14 - 21 mid second half and the Rock then showed superior fitness and cohesion to blow it open with four fine tallies.
Next match for Newfoundland is against James Bay on Friday as they seek to go undefeated in this packed western swing. Go, you Codfishermen, go!
Erratum - Apologies to The Rock. It has been pointed out that they achieved the half century, with the scoreline being 52 (not 42) to 14.
