"He came in as a loose forward and we looked at his skill set and his speed. And we had a lot of loose forwards in Canada," said Canada coach Kingsley Jones."He was really open to playing in the centres and he's done that, changed position and adapted really well.Like his brother Mason, the six-foot-two 207-pound Noah is a physical presence,"who brings a hard edge to the midfield," said Jones.
Jones's starting forwards all come from Major League Rugby with three members of the champion New England Free Jacks, two each from the Chicago Hounds — including captain Lucas Rumball — and RFC LA and one from NOLA Gold. Jason Higgins and Peter Nelson pair up again at scrum half and fly half in a backline featuring four MLR players.
"We're effective but we need to be more efficient," he added."We need to take the opportunities when we get into the opposition 22. We're not capitalizing. But that's normal. It's teaching young players who to win test matches."
