| When you mentioned Wolverines, I was tempted to say Swinton v York, but those names don't sound familiar from Warrington's squad!

| And the referee is Paul Byrne who used to live on Glebe Street.
The USA game is worth watching, great comeback from Canada, playing good rugby in the last 20 minutes after an error-strewn first 60 - and in front of 7,000 fans!
And its Reggae as in the music, not Reggie as in the Krays

| The Canadian team also has "Little" John Felix, Enoch "the Warrior" Walmawa (by the way he really is a fast prop/second row and I think the one player they have who could make it pro) and goalkicker Steve "the Technician" Piatek.
I don't mind it, anything to stir up the crowd and excite the kids. The commentary grates on my ears something rotten though.
It really is odd sitting in a stadium of 7,000 people and you are only one of about hundred who really knows the rules (I suppose it's like being at the DW). The crowd have no appreciation at all of kicking for field position and as long as the ball gets over the line it is a try as far as they are concerned!

It was brilliant, all the fans whoopin' and a hollerin'! Sponsored by Fosters, big crowd and commentators that are enthusiastic and actually commentate on the game.
I'd get one over for the World Cup.

| Interesting fact is that the commentator is either the President or Chairman of the Canadian Rugby League (I can't remember which) - the equivalent of Nigel Wood or Brian Barwick! The commentary is not recorded live, but done after the fact, which is why he commentates on the match and not anything else.
What was really nice to see for the Jamaica game was that they had u-10 teams playing on the pitch at half-time...the main focus here is on the international game but good to see some development also..

| Although a little eccentric, and the standard not really international level... I did enjoy the coverage. The nicknames had me in stitches. John "the cat" Felix.
On a serious note I did think Enoch "the warrior" looked good. mapleyther have you any more info on him? Age? etc
