Rugby spirit as its best! We play, we are responsible and we respect our opponents, the referee and ourselves.

[MartinJG]

No whining. Whatever next. Well played Canada.

[badmicro]

This is the kind of behavior I point out to my kids. I tell them "Thats how you respond to adversity. Thats what maturity and character look like."

[Whatevs]

As my football coach always used to say...If you let the game be close enough that a referee's call makes all the difference, then that is on you.

[dewindoethdwl]

You can’t demonstrate maturity any better than that. Owning responsibility is such a fundamental in rugby.

[keithh]

I dont think ive ever heard that answer before from any captain, any team or any code. Perfect answer!! 10-10 from me.

[williamstreet]

That was an awesome response. The question was intended to stir controversy. It failed because of the thoughtful answer. The ref didn't determine the game, We did. We have work to do. Just awesome.

[fazertace]

Well done guys. Owning your mistakes and not blaming the ref.

[paulmason]

Canada deserve praise for how they played and stuck to the task. I love the fact that they didn't whine and blame it on the referee either. England played slightly below average but, in the end, deserved the victory. The Abby Dow try was worthy of a British Lions match. Superb.

[bonnytrippler]

Well played Canada and England - a great game worthy of a world cup semi final. Big respect to you both for your answers to this leading question.

[billyboy]

Well played Canada both on the field but also for showing respect for the referee. I watched the game and was suffering from squeaky bum syndrome so big respect to your team. Let’s hope your governing body offer you the chance to be professionally sponsored in future. You were awesome today!

[jabbawakka]

You have this 🇳🇿kiwi's🇳🇿 respect for your response to the referees, your team is going from strength to strength, and I pray God bless and protect you all in your buildup to the next world cup.👌🙏🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦🙏

[errcoche]

I Was surprised at how good Canada are. They just failed to make some tackles for two of the English tries but they are right up there with the others who have reached the semis.

[sebby]

England won fair and square but I must say as an England fan I have so much respect and admiration for how the Canadians played against us. They didn’t use the ‘oh pity me were amateurs with no funding’ excuse they dug deep and they gave it 110%. To all the other ‘amateur’ sides take note of this. True champions Canada ✊

[countycricklewood]

An example of how all countries especially the top tier coaching staff should behave, in both league and union. Chutzpah Canada

[BetterHumanz]

Canada is amazing I was so impressed with how good they are for an amateur team..by the time the next world cup comes around they will be the force to reckon with for sure.

[Molehill]

Wow, nice to see people accepting the situation and not looking to blame other people, which you often see in football.

[TJDaWin]

Canada are a world class side with great leadership. Most importantly the future is brighter than ever for women's rugby. Canada v France next week will be a banger of a game.
100% respect

[BenRelle]

Canada were awesome. Huge respect for them. Top side, and with proper backing will be world champs one day

[calh]

They are they greatest rugby officials in the world, they work hard to perfect their craft and they take the responsibility seriously. An amateur team ranked in top 10 is a dream come true, for the love of the game. I think if Canada went pro, they would be number 1.
