Oakville resident Matthew Tierney and Oakville Crusaders player Adrian Wadden have been named to the Canadian team that will compete at the World Rugby U20 Trophy 2015 tournament next month in Lisbon, Portugal.

Tierney, a member of the Mississauga Blues, started both games for Canada in a two-game sweep of the United States last month that qualified Canada for the junior worlds. The Loyola high school grad helped Ontario win a national U18 championship two years ago.

Wadden, who resides in Mississauga, started the first qualifying game against the U.S. Canada won the two-game series by an aggregate score of 69-25.

The World Rugby U20 Trophy 2015, scheduled for May 12-24, is the second level of the World Rugby tournament structure for U20 national teams. The winner of the trophy is promoted to next year’s World Rugby U20 Championship.

Canada, which finished seventh at last year’s Trophy competition after finishing second in 2013, will face Namibia, Hong Kong and Tonga in its round-robin contests.
