my innermost sanctum

eh?

canada are more known as the nation that invented ice hockey. rugby doesn't even make it to one of its top, erm, three sport - ice hockey, baseball, lacrosse. if my memory serves me correctly.

such that one of its native's blurted the other day, "i didn't know that we have a team for the sevens... uhm, what's the sevens?" i raised an eyebrow and nearly asked him where he had been all this while but didn't.

yet, this chart shows canada occupying pole position in the successful goalkicking rate amongst rugby-playing nations. even ahead of new zealand and australia:

see where england is? the utter shame. must we need to be taught the finer intricacies of the game by canucks?

jonny, please come back. quickly.
