RWC: Canada Hopes To Earn A Victory Today
2007-09-25 15:59:00 I'm going to dub today's matches at the Rugby World Cup as "Somebody's Gotta Win" day. Both matches today feature sides who have yet to taste victory, and unless an unusual "draw" happens, hell, Somebody's Gotta Win.The action begins with Canada taking on Japan. The game can be seen live in the U.S. on Setanta Sports. Later on today, Romania will face Portugal and that game can be seen live on Setanta Sports as well. If you are living in the U.S. and you don't have access to Setanta Sports, you can catch the action "live" at Planet-Rugby.com.As for my predictions today, look for Canada & Romania to pick up their first victories of the tournament.
