Camp on Vancouver Island, matches in Vancouver first steps in bid for 2027 success
Its qualifying road to the 2027 World Cup has been set and the 21st-ranked Canadian men’s schedule is filling up, starting Aug. 25 against No. 14 Japan in Vancouver in Pacific Nations Cup play.“The depth that we have at the moment is probably the best it’s been in at least six years. And the backs particularly,” said the former Wales captain. “It’s becoming difficult to pick a team, which is what I need. I need a headache every night.
Jones summoned 35 players to Shawnigan Lake School in preparation for the Pacific Nations Cup and will announce his tournament roster following the Highlanders match. After the Japan game at Vancouver’s B.C. Place Stadium, Canada travels to California to take on the 19th-ranked United States on Aug. 31 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson.
Should that road not work, there will also be two more ways for Canada to qualify for the expanded 24-team World Cup, via a playoff with the 2025 Sudamerica Rugby Championship runner-up and, finally, a four-team repechage tournament After the Pacific Nations Cup, the Canadian men are likely looking at November tests in Europe against the 27th-ranked Netherlands, No. 20 Romania and No. 22 Chile.
