| MATCH NOTES This was the first of a triple-bill match series at Twickenham which involved the finals of the Churchill Cup. Uniquely this match kicked off at 11:am. The result was the second highest winning margin for Canada over their USA neighbours and the second fifty-pointer in a row, the previous being the record 56-7 win last August. Veteran scrum half and captain Morgan Williams was playing his 50th test for Canada. Osborne was making his test debut for United States Sources http://www.rugbycanada.ca/index.php?page_id=10&lang=en&news_id=3152 |
