[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 614225, member: 44360"] I do think it will be a challenge for Canada as always, the Blossoms seem to have our number though I think the record is a little deceiving as Japan have really targetted us at the last two RWC's(much more so than we did them by resting key players and throwing away other games) and Canada will be playing Japan at home which is vastly different to playing Japan away where most of the recent games have taken place. We actually haven't hosted you guys since 2000 with all matches since either in Japan or at RWC's, but the results record in Canada is 5 wins for us and 1 for Japan. With neutral site at two draws. Lot's of these results are a little dated but it's clear the travelling side is at a massive disadvantage due to time zone difference, fixture congestion etc. [/QUOTE]
