Cup wins for Canada and US

Canada cruised to a 51-16 victory over Uruguay to move a step closer to qualifying for the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

In front of 3,670 fans in Edmonton, the Canucks strengthened their position as leaders of the Americas Division.

Meanwhile, two first-half tries from David Fee propelled the United States to a 35-22 win over Chile.

The USA raced to a 25-3 half-time lead and were never in danger of losing the first-ever international between the two countries.

The qualifier was played before 2,075 fans on a superb 75-degree summer afternoon in Salt Lake City.
