Here are a few more links for your reading pleasure:

ATHOC - on the Canadian and New Zealand victories today that pushed them in to the medal round.

It was funny to read about "The game featured aggressive blocking by the big men, especially Garett HICKLING (CAN) and Brad DUBBERLEY (AUS). It was certainly not a game for the feint hearted. "

Top-level rugby is exciting to watch and dynamic to play. Seeing G and The Kid in the big plays will hopefully motivate some strong-hearted Greeks to get involved in this great sport, as Greece has yet to play a single international game. Hopefully these Games will act as a catalyst for the development of our sport in their country.

ATHOC - where the two Dubya's speak like team players, and the Aussies focus on being blunt and negative. Once again, they should have come to the Canada Cup, just like we should have gone to the 1999 World Wheelchair Games, and didn't.

Tomorrow's matches, with their local starting times in Greece, which is 7 hours ahead of EST here in Canada:

10:00 - Belgium vs. Japan (5th-8th class)

12:00 - Australia vs. Germany (5th-8th class)

The winners of these two games meet for 5th place, the losers for the 7th place game.

17:00 - United States vs. Canada (semi-final)

19:00 - Great Britain vs. New Zealand (semi-final)

The two winners of these games meet for the Paralympic Gold Medal, while the losers will meet for the final medal position, and a bronze medal at the Athens Paralympic Games.
