In cea de a doua etapa contand pentru IRB Americas Rugby Championship, Statele Unite au dispus de Canada cu rezultatul de 16-3, cele doua echipe urmand sa fie adversare ale Stejarilor in partidele test din luna noiembrie.
Invinsi in prima etapa de Argentina Jaguars, americanii au inceput in forta, deschizand scorul la cateva minute dupa primul fluier al arbitrului prin eseul reusit de aripa Tim Stanfield. Initiativa a trecut apoi de partea candienilor, insa presiunea inaintarii acestora, in special tripleta din linia intai Doezel-Barkwill-Wooldridge, nu s-a concretizat in puncte din penalitatile obtinute.
Astfel, cei care au marcat pana la pauza au fost tot americanii prin Siddall, autor a unei lovituri de pedeapsa. In partea secunda scenariul a fost acelasi, pana cand Hamilton a primit cartonasul galben, efortul facut de canadienii, care au fost nevoiti sa evolueze in 14 jucatori, a dus la un alt eseu marcat de aripa vulturilor Tim Stanfield.
Caseta tehnica a partidei arata astfel:
