Success in Canada, but Closer Games NeededThe big test this summer for a huge group of young women rugby players came with trips to Canada. The Midwest U23 Thunderbirds took a U23 and U20 team to Mosquito Heaven, otherwise known as Brandon, Manitoba. There the T-Birds U20s played four shortened games over two days.
