VANCOUVER — A new atmosphere permeates Canada's men's rugby team these days — one of confidence. Belief bubbled up when the squad downed world No.
Belief bubbled up when the squad downed world No. 20 Romania in Ottawa last month and it lingers as the 21st-ranked Canadians begin their Pacific Nations Cup quest in Vancouver on Sunday.
“I was young in my career at that time. I think it was my third or fourth cap," said the 29-year-old forward, who hails from Toronto."So I was still kind of living in the moment and a little overwhelmed by things. But I remember a tight game.”"They stick to their game plan really well, they work very hard," Rumball said."So you can never take a moment off.”
Canada and the U.S. will then join Japan, No. 10 Fiji, No. 13 Samoa and No. 16 Tonga in Tokyo for the tournament's semifinals and fifth-place playoff on Sept. 14 and 15. The final and third-place playoff are set for Sept. 21 in Osaka.
