It is worthy to note that after all 5 pool games, none of the team members of either the Canadian or American teams were amongst the top-10 or either the top-15 tournament scorers.  Team Canada meets the USA in the finals of the Wheelchair Rugby World Championships tomorrow.

The closest that any North American got to the top of the scoring list was Team USA's 2.0 Bryan Kirkland, from the Lakeshore Demolition, whose 40 goals earned him 19th spot on the scoring list, with Canada's 3.5 Garett Hickling next on the list with his 39 goals.  Perhaps it points out the depth of both teams, and the teamwork that is necessary to succeed in this sport.

Japan's speedy 2.5 Satshi Ito was the top scorer after the round of pools, with 83 goals, followed by Austria's 2.5 Markus Stroblmair with 71, and the British 3.5 (?) John Lilley with 69.  Ito seems to have been classed up from a Deuce to a 2.5, as he is listed on the original list as a 2.0.
