Magali Harvey, named World Rugby's Women's Player of the Year in 2014, is in line for her first cap in almost five years when fourth-ranked Canada takes on No. 1 England in a rugby test match Saturday.
The 33-year-old wing from Quebec City, who recently signed with France's Stade Bordelais, last played for the Canadian 15s team in November 2018 against Wales.
Harvey, who served as Canada's placekicker, finished second in tournament scoring with 61 points including four tries. It's England first match since April when the Red Roses defeated France 38-33 to complete a Women's Six Nations Grand Slam. England led 33-0 at the half before a record crowd of 58,498 at Twickenham.
England has won five straight since losing 34-31 to New Zealand in the World Cup final, a defeat that ended a three-year, 30-game winning streak. Canada has never beaten the Red Roses in 12 matches on British soil, losing 51-12 the last time they met in November 2021 in London. Tessier and Taylor Perry both return from injury layoffs. Tessier, who starts at fullback, has not played for Canada since April while Perry, who starts on the bench, suffered a knee injury in training ahead of Canada's World Cup opener in October.
