Sam Miller, Jesse Kilgour and Rhys James are in line for their first caps off the bench Saturday when Canada faces Romania in a men's rugby test match in Bucharest.Canada coach Kingsley Jones is preparing his young side for World Cup qualifying, which starts next year via the Pacific Nations Cup.Centre Noah Flesch, who made his debut in last Saturday's 44-14 loss to No. 21 Chile, earns his second start at centre while older brother Mason Flesch lines up at lock for his 13th cap.
Prop Calixto Martinez joins Stockwood in the forward pack with Siôn Parry slotting in at blind-side flanker, prompting Matt Heaton to switch to open-side flanker. “Our roster for Saturday looks different than that from the match in July, as our program works through a number of injuries, but it’s a valuable experience for our young players. This is an important opportunity to see how our young players step up ahead of next year’s Rugby World Cup qualification."
The trophy, awarded in collaboration with the Canadian Embassy in Romania, honours Romanian-Canadian co-operation in the nuclear energy sector. The two Canadian CANDU reactors at the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant provide Romania with 18 per cent of its total electricity.
