I think it's a nice cultural touch. Something grim northern clubs could do with embracing.

Can we quit with the North/South divide rubbish please. Karen.

oh I see so I see southern clubs play the anthem then before a game, I'll take my flat cap off if I hear it up here

Unfortunately my flat cap covers my ears so I can’t hear the buggers anyway!

Didn't hear much of the Canadian anthem being sung, I think Rowley took the P.A system from Leigh when he scarpered.

What?

Sorry, my post must be hard for you to understand. Those who actually watched the game heard the Canadian national anthem sung in a Norman Collier fashion (sound breaking up to you). I was referring to Leigh's P.A system which is of the same ilk.

That better for you.

I thought it was a decent game, interesting to see who would come out on top - Toronto with their all out onslaught in the first 10-15 mins of each half or the Rovers plugging away in the last 20-25 mins of each half when Toronto ran out of gas. Unfortunately the 2 breakaway tries (at least one of which could have easily gone the other way so a 12 point swing) meant the Canadians left themselves too much to do. Not seen them before this season but I reckon if they threw as much at the PT teams in the opening exchanges of their games as they did at Rovers then the damage would have been done.

All those lines on the pitch made the game hard to watch.
