The Rugby World Cup is currently taking place in Japan, but Canada’s recent match against Namibia had to be cancelled due to flooding and infrastructure damage caused by Typhoon Hagibis.

Since Canadians take a lot of pride in being kind, generous people, the Canadian rugby team used their unexpected day off to help give back to the community damaged by the typhoon and helped the locals with their recovery efforts.



Following the cancellation of their match in Kamaishi, @RugbyCanada players headed out to help with recovery efforts, showing the true values of the game.



Amazing scenes and brilliant to see from the team. #RWC2019 pic.twitter.com/jdXQlyD2ZM — Rugby World Cup (@rugbyworldcup) October 13, 2019

The Canadian team is expected to return back home on Monday, just in time for Canadian Thanksgiving, but they made sure to lend a hand and help out before heading back home.



It’s a shame that this is something they have to deal with in Japan, but we’re happy to see our guys lend a hand to those in need before coming back home.
