McRorie kicked 13 points for Canada but it was Lucas Tranquez's 79th minute try that stole the victory for host Brazil.

The Brazilians got off to a fast start as Daniel Sancery broke a couple of Canadian tackles to give his side a 7-0 lead after Moises Duque added the conversion.

However, Canada responded immediately as Blevins side-stepped a few tacklers to get the visitors on the board.

A Duque penalty in the 16th minute pushed Brazil back ahead 10-7 before McRorie scored Canada's second try as he slipped through a hole off of a lineout for a 14-10 lead.

Duque would give Brazil the lead in the 37th minute as the hosts took a narrow 17-14 lead into the second half.

In a slow second half, a McRorie penalty, as well as a rare drop goal, gave Canada a 23-17 lead with 10 minutes to play.

Brett Beukeboom and Diego Lopez were both shown yellow cards in the 71st minute but Canada were undone by Tranquez's last minute try.
