Rugby Union

Canada's two main problems have been geographical isolation and the sheer size of the country, which makes inter-province competition difficult - an additional problem is the climate, because many grounds are under snow/ice for significant portions of the year, leading to a split season. However, in terms of international rugby, Canada has not been so isolated, since European sides touring Australia and New Zealand, and vice versa, would frequently stop off there, in the days before proper long distance jet flight. As early as 1905, Dave Gallaher's "Originals" from New Zealand played there, and a long line of All Blacks sides have played there.
