Our women's rugby team might medal, they fought the #1 seeded australian team to a draw earlier today.

Canada destroying USA in volleyball.

USA vs New Zealand in Rugby will start sometime later this hour on CNBC. I don't quite understand it, but its an entertaining sport to watch.

yep, we're now in the knockout stage too, this match will be a quarterfinal.

alnorth 08-07-2016 03:30 PM

yikes, the all time series between USA and New Zealand is 14-1 for New Zealand. So, I guess we are not favored.

Canada evicerates the US Men's VB Team.

Awful showing

The volleyball experts on the CBC are saying that was a complete choke by the US. Canada ranked well below them.

Absolutely. US has a legit shot to medal

That was a complete let down. Canada's play was amazing today

First half over, NZ scored with a couple seconds left to go up 5-0

mr. tegu 08-07-2016 03:41 PM

So after some quick rugby research it's just two seven minute halves. That's quick but apparently this is not the normal rules. Normal rules are 15 on 15 for two forty minute halves as opposed to this shortened game with 7 on 7. That's why they can play twice on the same day.

alnorth 08-07-2016 03:44 PM

power play for USA!
