Canada entertain the English Lions in Toronto (Lamport Stadium ) on 6th October with another game to be slotted in the following wednesday.
The Lions squad can be found on the RFL website . It is I would say of Championship club strength and their games are often used as a benchmark to measure others ( Serbia , South Africa etc ). This will be the case with Canada.
How do you think the game will go ?

I am hoping that the crowd for the Lions game will be the biggest yet!

Who is the new coach Spooky?
Clayton Beckett. He's been involved with the team for a long time and is a natural replacement for Richie who is moving to Alberta.

I think Canada also has a pretty big rivalry with the Poms too.
I am hoping that the crowd for the Lions game will be the biggest yet!
The crowd may be hit a little by the fact that it's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. People will have stuff planned with their families. Lots of people head up to cottage country for the last long weekend before Christmas.

Thanks! Much appreciated.
No sweat. Still not got a reply tho.
However I like to think that it was my email that swung their decision to show the game.
Push away the thief trying to steal your gift, the fighter is the one whose feet are swift.

The Lebanon match is still due to be repeated on Monday night at 11pm - hopefully they will show this, as when I recorded this on the first time it was due to be shown they didn't show it, and it never came up on the Sky Guide for them showing it again. Here's hoping...

Perhaps they're hedging their bets over whether they'll be able to show the USA match on time - as I said above, the Lebanon match wasn't shown when it was originally listed. Still, the fact that we're able to watch RL matches from Canada at all is something.

I can also see why Chalmers and Dodds were selected to go to Hull FC Chalmers was is an exceptionally good player big, fast loose forward with surprisingly good passing skills. Dodds was a lively and competent hooker.
Have to also say the coverage, which is obviously done on a budget, was excellent good explanations of the rules and build up to the game with in game graphics that would not look out of place in a more expensive production.
I really cannot get over the technical competency of the Canadian players excellent when taking into account their relative lack of exposure to the game. The RFL should be looking to get involved some how as Canada could be a potential hotbed for RL.
