move into the next round,
Namibia figures to be the
patsy. And inasmuch as
Canada beat Fiji the last time
they met, our guys are even
moncy to move on.

We'll have a better idea
three months from now. Fiji
will be in town to play
Canada at Thunderbird
Stadium, May 15. The idea of
a country whose total land
mass would fit comfortably,
twice over, into Vancouver
island, and whose entire pop-
ulation is about the same as
Calgary's, playing against the
second biggest land mass
country on the planet, may
seem incongruous.

But, really, it isn’t. Rugby
is Fiji’s number one sports
passion, just as hockey is ours.
Credit the Methodist mission
aries from Wales. Back in the
last century they broughe
Christianity and rugby in
equal doses to a land once
famed for cannibatism.

But Fijians have not totally
forgotten their roots. The last
time Fiji played here, one of
the players, perusing the din-
ner menu in the hotel dining
room, deadpanned to the

vaitress: “I don’t see anything
Here [ Jike. Please bring me
the guest list.”

Meanwhile, North Shore
rugby also has a request —
please build more grass fields.
