Canada head coach Jones positive post match press conference

[@darrens7040]

You were in the game, the commitment from your guys was commendable cheers from NZ

[@stacy2550]

Great sportsmanship from a great coach you have my support from Argentina

[@samitiger9770]

World Rugby should organize world cup of clubs every year to Improve the game & players

[@honawikeepa5813]

No shame Canada. Your courage was exceptional. Respect! Thank you from NZ. Well done AB's.

[@nikorwhittle3188]

Kiwi here, take a bow Canada, you can only learn & grow , you guys can hold heads high.

[@Schnitz13]

We made the Q-finals in 1991; now we can't beat the US or any other Tier 2 nation. We've only regressed, not improved. Cheers for your charitable words but Rugby Canada is in a terrible state and Jones is not the man to get this done.

[@Unkle685]

Canada rugby has dignity & humanism ..such humble strong men..great spirit & culture.respect from New Zealand.

[@jirenthegray2904]

Well done Canada, truly a class act. Of course it was a tough but you're only going to improve. Coach is spot on about needing to give tier 2 nations more opportunities against tier 1s. All the best against the Boks.

[@johnwilson5743]

I agree with most of the other comments: Well done Canada! You fought right to the end and never gave up. Plus, you continued to be competitive, rather than collapsing over the final 15 to 20 minutes. (Poor USA after holding France, collapsed in the last 14 minutes!) Cheers from NZ

Well done Canada - you shown true fighting spirit and a never say die character. Cheers brothers from NZ :-)

[@Rockking1111]

Yup he brings up good points I will say at times I liked the Canadian rush defence and they never gave up. I was cheering for you’s to score a try. From NZ🍻🍻🍻🇨🇦🍻🍻🍻

[@wyntonvisser429]

Take it from a South African, beating the AB's is tough! Well done Canada, that was a great battle - unlucky not to get onto the board during the first half when you were hustling hard. 👏🏻

[@marktahu2932]

Congratulations Canada - you competed - for 82 minutes you scrapped all the way - and you will get better! Much better!

[@waynemanuel1199]

Well said Canadian Coach, the pathway is the life line. Canadian rugby gets a thumbs up.

[@malindirugbyfootballclub1180]

Tyler, you’re a legend. I hope you lead the team for a long, long time. Watched the game in Kenya with a pack of AB fans (none kiwi) and was proud, most tackles were made (and well!) and pressure was applied. Looking forward to you putting your stamp on the Boks game. Go hard boys!!!!!

[@jordanclark8508]

World Rugby you need to help these tier 2 teams throwing money at them ain't the answer. They need more games against Top Teams cause 3 games against tier 1 teams in four years is a joke. Great effort Canada should be proud considering the lack of help you get.

[@samitiger9770]

World Rugby should organize world cup of clubs every year to improve the game & players

[@jordanclark8508]

@Sami Tiger last week Eddie Jones said credit to World Rugby for driving tier 2 development obviously put these teams up against the All Blacks you see how far they have developed alright not much. So they need to organize something before the next World Cup.

[@jordanclark8508]

Not a soccer fan but if that confederation thing includes more than 6 teams then yeah something like that .

[@BrandonLee_1171]

The All Blacks need to scrap the end of year northern tour. They make barely any money from it as the gate numbers go to the home side. It should just be a June series against one northern team, the rugby championship, and a series against tier 2 teams at the end of the year. I personally think a 3 game series against Japan would make Japan a tier 1 nation. The northern tour doesn’t help the All Blacks who are always fatigued at that stage and have exhausted most of their game plans that were used in the rugby championship.

[@onepercenter13]

It's bloody hard to fit those games into a season....I agree they should.....but making that actually happen is another story

[@michellejane9092]

I thought you guys did bloody well at sometimes in the game, i congratulate your team for your efforts well done! Cheers from NZ x

[@up2cuzz]

Credit to the Canadians, not easy going up against the reigning back to back champs

All class Canada. Well played, and congratulations for giving it your all. You dont have to win to gain respect, you just have to give it heart and you did that and plenty more. Kia Kaha (stay strong) ... cheers from New Zealand.

[@tauheedsiddique4702]

Wow. Absolutely polite. Great work out there. Glad you guys fought to the last minute. Glad this team walks away with lessons after a loss. Unlike the whining Aussies.

[@Jaydab14]

Massive effort, should hold your heads high, love from nz!

[@stupss]

Please keep ya head up! As an all blacks fan, in these games I always cheer for the opposing teams ❤️ keep going hard! From NZ!

[@keza41]

Rugby has to change, it can’t all be about 6 nations and the championship. Would love to see tier 2 teams more games against tier 1 teams. Come on World Rugby you know it makes sense.

[@lukestoffels5545]

Way to go Canada. You can only improve from here on out. Well done. Great game.

[@bustarogers9990]

Typical tough , humble dudes. Hold your head high Canada , you showed some true grit. Would be great to see a pro league in Canada or America , would be gold for Rugby to have something going on over there and will only help grow the greatest game on the planet.

[@Nuku2156]

Good stuff Coach. Well done Canada and hold your heads high. From a Kiwi ABs fan.

[@euancave3942]

Jones is right about the culture, but as a young player in Canada, and who has represented my province and been selected for U17 west Canada camp, I have become disillusioned with the lack of options for players on the west coast. and I feel that not enough is being done to improve the standards of rugby in my country, form highschool to mens club level and above.

[@jennafarrell5783]

Canada should do the school boys competition in the southern hemisphere.. NZ sends the Under 13's to the under 17's teams to Australia to compete, this has been done for over 20years.. they play for a week against the best teams Aussie has to offer. I'm sure Canada could send a couple of teams this way. As a kiwi, I think Canada should be proud of their performance, they played the best sports team in the world! They didn't give up, showed great heartiness.. everyone was expecting a point a minute from the all blacks but Canada said NO! Lol. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.

[@Schnitz13]

Amen. It's the same in every province except BC: at least there rugby is promoted ahead of gridiron football. Everywhere else is still in the thrall of the NFL. The CFL is a dying game and needs to be done away with and replaced by an emphasis on rugby: more skills and team fitness involved, fewer catastrophic injuries, lower insurance costs for schools, can field multiple sides instead of just the senior football teams... So many reasons in Canada to ditch rugby but too many heads stuck in the sand...

[@acchaladka]

WRugby thanks for posting this. The Tier II discussion is the only discussion for the rugby community, imho.

15s is over in Canada, sad to say but we are on the decline and the MLR won’t save us. We shouldn’t be at this World Cup really. Proud of the boys and the way they fought. Canada should focus on sevens after this World Cup.

[@florapirie111]

canada ... soo didnt capitalize on the pressure you put on the allblacks for 16 - 30 mins . do you actually think you had the allblacks under pressure ?

[@wayneshilcock3027]

Sadly world rugby has given the tier two nations crumbs from the table. This is what you get, all you need to do is look at the Canadian teams of the past (They were very competitive) and tier one nations have streaked ahead leaving Canada and others standing still. What world rugby has done is a diagrace!!!

[@acchaladka]

Couldn’t agree more, cheers from Canada. There’s no free lunch but we need to do better too at the local level. Japan is an interesting model.

[@jordanclark8508]

Why include tier 2 teams if you've only given them 3 games against tier 1 teams since the last World Cup in 2015

[@niueanlaho]

[@MyNameMeansGiftFromGod]

Can somebody please explain how an ex colony of France and Britain has not been able to be at least as good as Scotland in rugby?

[@drzoidberg1]

No enough opportunities to progress beyond local rep teams. Kingsley said it in the press conference: we need more professional exposure.

[@MyNameMeansGiftFromGod]

I understand that that is the present situation. What I do not understand is why Canada ended up being tier two nation when they had heavy influences from Britain and France from the beginning. I would have thought that rugby would have had a strong foothold in Canada when the sport came into being, just like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It could be the US had greater influence on Canada. Thanks for the response.

[@RainCity3rd]

@@MyNameMeansGiftFromGod Maybe just other sports for the boys to play growing up? It seems like is was fairly popular in the early 1900s still so my guess was that as professionalism of other sports specifically hockey, basketball and hockey grew, it pulled interest from the rest and then when professionalism of rugby took off in the big nations those nations grew rugby over other sports. In France for example rugby was mostly popular in the south west and while that has grown with professionalism, there are some really small towns that have a lot of national titles still. It an interesting question to ponder though!

[@drzoidberg1]

@@MyNameMeansGiftFromGod Canada's highest ranking was 8th. They have beaten 6 nation countries (back when it was 5 nations). Canada used to pound the US, Japan and was even with Argentina. And it looks like you understand the present situation on how we have slipped in the rankings. There is an issue with pro level exposure at the top but I think there is a larger issue of diminishing players at the club level as well. So we are getting whacked twice, a smaller pool to draw our best and then not keeping pace with other nations on giving our best exposure to top level rugby. It takes more than just being a former colony 150 years ago. Things change over time and there are lots of dynamics involved.

[@SondaLovesElly26]

We have the best rugby team but Canada has the most beautiful women, ill exchange in a heartbeat 😂 🇨🇦🇳🇿

This guy's having a laugh. He's Canada's ONLY coach. They have no forwards coach, no backs coach, no specialized coaches or trainers of any kind--just Jones. His choice. And Rugby Canada supports him 100% on that. What a joke our national program and leadership are! So misguided and missing the point! 😞
