[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 510209, member: 44360"] Even though this raises Canada's chances of winning, it dissapoints me that Georgia weren't able to bring over their first and second choice players in so many positions. I was hoping this game would be valuble to the Canadian forwards in learning how to handle themselves against an opponent that is superior in the set pieces. Now it looks like Canada will actually have a bit of an advantage up front, thankfully the Georgian backs are first choice which should keep Canada from running riot. There could be the scenario that Canada might take this oppourtunity to put more of the younger guys out on the field though, which could keep this game close. Canada has a few people hurt which has meant some third choicers on the bench, if Crowley starts them it might not be a cake walk for Canada, especially for the first 40-60 minutes. @Toko and Psychic, is this a case of the Top 14 not wanting to release players or was this the choice of the coach and selectors to field a younger side?
