UPDATE: You can see some pretty strange highlights of the game here
As expected Australia has completely done a number on Canada winning by a huge margin with everyone scoring plenty of meat-pies.
Richard Kingi and Kurtley crossed for 4 each in a game where the Aussies lead by 31-0 at halftime and well and truly went on with the job after the break.
Australia play Tonga on Tuesday and then a vital game against Wales next Saturday.
There are some live games streamed on the IRB website but sadly none of them feature Australia. By the looks of things all the semi will be telecast on pay TV in Australia and also once again will be streamed on the IRB website so we might get to see our lads in action then.

…………..damn, so close. We were robbed……..
Damn shame, if only The Dunning qualified he may have slotted that vital drop goal and made it 86-3..
Moses’s last blog post..Crap Lookalikes – Dale Steyn is Bear Grylls
Damn right, we just sent you Dunning so he can be ready to play 10 for us…
Good Highlights, no score or commentry though. Beale still looks kinda slow, but I guess he gets the job done.
Liked the look of that Kingi, Toomua combo in the halves with some of those tries. The former very much a running halfback (the Seven’s influence) and the latter taking the right options. MT started to look the goods in those last few Super 14 matches, I thought more so that Lealifano. Looks like he had a good first up match here, albeit against weak opposition.
Pedro – I suppose KB isn’t an ‘out and out’ speedster but he didn’t look out of place amongst the outside backs on display here?
Yeah, that’s what I meant when I said he gets the job done.
He was just a bit like an oztag player in tactics.
Can’t get the highlights to work. R they still up?
Yeah, still working for me, although they are in a strange format. You’ll need to be able to watch wmv’s
