It is actually an obvious statement that Canada can be a better team with all its overseas professional in a side, but it has been so long since it happened, people were beginning to have trouble recalling the vision of a team in red moving the ball forward consistently, scoring from all over the place, and setting up a dragnet defense that would stop the Taliban in its tracks.
Some will say that the 56-7 win over the USA is not a true test of what this team's ability is, but I can assure one and all, that this is not the case. The US were bringing their best to bare as well, and there should never have been more than a few points in this game based on recent past history. Of course, this history does not include having a forwards unit like the one that lined up at the Swilers Complex. I can only recall two other games in modern Canadian history that saw such a dominant performance by the 1-8 gang. I would point to the 27-27 draw against Ireland in 2000 in Markham, and Canada's victory, 26-24, over Scotland in 2002.
Watch out for Team Canada, these are some tough beer drinking MoFo's! That 56-7 crushing of Team USA was no fluke!
