i think as you say it is an NHL or NFL decision as i believe the governing bodies own the images/brands for the sports teams. the clubs can sell advertising at the stadium etc, but the actual brand 'Montreal CAnadians' is a registered trademark of the NHL.

more corporate money in the U.S to sponsor things like that. it's a huge market and it costs a fair penny to sponsor a stadium, and more corporates over there have that kind of money. gillette is an NFL stadium - huge exposure

yup Dick's Sporting Goods park in denver. has hosted churchill cup matches in the past when that was going. rugby usa is based out of denver, so yes its quite popular. however, they've had games there at the official 'rugby stadium' and they fill it - however i think its about 5,000 - so not...

boston doesn't have an appropriate stadium. the new england revolution play out of gillette stadium a 70,000 person nfl stadium. i think the primary choices for rugby matches are rio tinto stadium (home of real salt lake) in salt lake where rugby is very popular (due to huge islander population...

hilgendorf was also horrible telegraphed everything he did. but then again he hasn't been playing super level all year will be great to get a rest and have a better team out there for the lions match.

rebels will obviously play against the lions b team as the lions have a test a few days later. however, lions will still be set piece strong and i think the rebels would be wise to steer clear of scrums. i suspect we'll go with henderson ged weeks pyle (hopefully fit) neville jones (assuming...

Ireland beat USA 15 - 12 in Houston in front of 21,000 at BBVA Compass Stadium (a great stadium in downtown Houston that houses the Dynamo of the MLS). sounds like the US had a few good chances to win it, but a yellow card to todd clever didn't help. ireland sounding primed for Canada to get a...

and yes. as above we have all but won the PNC (Pacific Nations Cup) in our first year which is great news. quick turnaround for the Japan game after the Ireland game, but we should win that and go undefeated. our 7s success and the Canadian Rugby Championships, America's Rugby Championship are having a big impact...

as above, canada threw down the gauntlet in the second half and scored some great tries. full replay available here http://www.rugbycanada.ca/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientID=3817&leagueID=0&page=70670 rebels prop eddie aholelei (sp?) sent off with a straight red for what sounds like a big...

just a tad entertaining.........wow.

Wales have come from behind and beat Japan 22-18

Do you even think that was necessary? I think 7 is excessive and u can see depth now building with both the force and rebels uncovering some new talent. I agree that maybe an extra 2 was required.

Canada defeated Fiji for the first time since 1995 in Ottawa on wednesday night, 20-18. Canada now leads the Pacific Nations Cup and faces Tonga in Kingston, Ontario on Saturday. Canada is giving a lot of players a run which is great to see. A week after Tonga is Ireland at BMO Stadium in...

i don't think you need sweat as much as some other teams you guys still have white, To'omua, rathbone?, mccabe/coleman, kiridrani, speight and mogg in your backline.... not the worst outcome. and sio up front to step in for alexander. and fotu at 8 for mowen i think the brumbies will take this...

i think beale is clearly a lock to go back to the tahs. if folau leaves, i'd say the tahs will sign him but depending on graham, i think there is also scope for him to go to the reds. keep in mind they have lost 1 big salary in diggers and possibly a few schloons out of morahan. further, they...

happy with that...not much difference between ours and i can't see hill doing much else. our backline is probably better this week with JOC (James O'Connor) and phipps gone. it's a blessing - not really disguised either.

agree i'd like to see a strong team weeks ged henderson neville jones davidson fuglistaler delve strz hegarty vuna sidey inman english woodward pae horie thomson/king reid burgess mitchell situati it's really only two changes (higgers and pyle) from our two wins v stormers and tahs.

i don't know much about kingston, but if he is a prospect at 13, i would be more than happy to trial Inman at 12 as a Jamie Roberts esque centre with either kingston or English outside him. either way, genuinely excited about tonight and next year. the recruiting at the club is looking excellent...
