The 2016 Canada Sevens tournament brought rugby furor to our city with the inaugural Vancouver Rugby Festival in March.

Rugby fever is coming back to Vancouver this weekend, and to add to the excitement, the Canadian National Men's team will play at BC Place for the first time. It will also be the first time a fifteen-a-side match will be played at the stadium.

Canada will face off against Japan in an international test match on Saturday (June 11) with a 3 p.m. kickoff (gates open at 2 p.m.).

Canada currently ranks number 18 while Japan is the number 10 team. Will Canada be up for the challenge?

After that match, the team is off to take on Russia in Calgary on June 18, and then against Italy on June 26 in Toronto.
