HOUSTON, TEXAS (JUNE 11, 2018) –The Canada Under-20 Team to play the first of two games against USA Under-20 has been announced by Jeff Williams, Head Coach.

“Fortunately, there has been strong competition for places. Furthermore, we decided to go with six forwards and two backs on the bench, in view of the high heat and humidity in Houston,” commented Williams.



Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm local time (8pm ET/5pm PT).

There will unfortunately not be a Live Stream available to watch the game online. Rugby Canada will be providing updates on its Twitter account (www.twitter.com/RugbyCanada) and will post the footage online immediately afterwards.
