There's a smattering of very Saffa looking names in that list. Is that a Canadian rugby scene thing?

[Stargazer]

@Crucial If you mean the names Beukeboom, Holtkamp and De Goede, then those are not Saffa names, but Dutch. There are a lot of Dutch immigrants in Canada.

@Stargazer said in Black Ferns v Canada:

@Crucial Which names do you mean?

Beukeboom, De Goede for example. Not saying they are imports (Google confirms they aren't) just wondering if there is a rugby scene in Canada of Saffa descent and origin.

Thanks. Thought it would be one or the other. I didn't realise there were lots of Dutch in Canada to be honest and the Saffa/Rugby thing seemed the more likely.

[Bovidae]

Wiki says that Tyson Beukeboom is the daughter of 4-time Stanley Cup winner Jeff Beukeboom (Oilers, Rangers).

[Bovidae]

de Goede also sounded familiar. Her father Hans de Goede was a lock and the captain of Canada at the 1987 RWC. He is Dutch-born.

[Stargazer]

The conditions aren't as bad as last game, fortunately.

[Stargazer]

Not sure the officiating is going to be better. Already a clear forward pass from the Canadians missed.

[Stargazer]

Watching on World Rugby YouTube with VPN working well, btw.

[Stargazer]

I was a bit distracted, but NZ lead 3 - 0. Don't know whether Cocksedge or Tubic kicked the penalty.

[Bovidae]

Wrong thread, but who won the earlier game?

[Stargazer]

Another penalty and Tubic is the kicker. 6 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae USA beat Australia 16 - 14.

Still too many mistakes, but BFs playing better than in the first game. Also a better opponent, obviously.

[Stargazer]

Great scrum from the BFs. Dominating.

[Stargazer]

Du Plessis gets away with a penalty only for a low-danger neckroll (not sure exactly which words the officials used).

[Stargazer]

Great driving maul from the Canadians. Advantage Canada now, because BFs collaps. BFs giving away too many penalties. Now one of the new props (3).

[Stargazer]

Good defence from the BFs there; Canada knock the ball on, on the BFs 22. NZ scrum.
