Go Canada, Go Quebec!

.
World cup in France... for ladies. New Zealand and France were expected in the final... It will be England and Canada...
First time ever in a final for Canada.
Out of the 22 Canadian players, 7 are from Quebec, including the winger 14 who scored the more points to-date, and the full back whom, in the semi-final against France, replaced in the second half the injured scrum half (also from Quebec) and after a few minutes in the role... pretended a pass straight out of a scrum and instead sprinted 15 yards towards the goal line!
The hooker, the scrum half, the full back, a second row, a prop, etc... Bravo Rugby Quebec for the 7 Quebec players! And think that this year Rugby Quebec had to cancel the Under 18 Ladies Summer League because... there were not enough resources in the clubs, while high schools rugby teams (April thru June) are on the rise every year, for boys and girls, as parents realize that rugby is far less dangerous than Canadian Football!

This World Cup was also to my knowledge the first time that players of a Canadian national team sang a bilingual version of the Canadian Hymn, to honor the bilingual Quebecois players (French - English). Like does the hockey team in Montreal (The Canadians)...
Allez les Quebecoises! Allez le Canada! Go Canada!
No matter what the result of the final this Sunday, they have made proud all of Canada, and all of their coaches and friends in Canada including Quebec.

Note: As I already told the rugby players who are trying to convince parents to enroll their kids, just don't mention whatever happens after the game, starting at a pub, be it in Ste Anne, Ste Julie or elsewhere...! But insist on the core values, loyalty, sportsmanship, courage, discipline, teamwork and friendship. Beer is not a core value, but...
