What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBBC Sport says Canada beat England twenty-four to twenty-one in Toronto, and a seventy-seventh minute try ended the Red Roses' unbeaten run, which went back to the twenty twenty-two World Cup final.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVera, your take.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat streak was a goldfish that lived four years, and Canada flushed it with three minutes left.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGoldfish don't live four years in my house. Hot, barely.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy take is the streak died happy, because it got to see Toronto, and the poutine was waiting.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPoutine isn't in the data.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's in my heart.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. Now mine: a streak is just a long wait for a bad Friday, and England got theirs on a good Saturday.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is the hottest thing you've ever said, Hank.
