Forward Tyson Beukeboom is set to enter the Canadian rugby record book Saturday. Named in the starting lineup for fourth-ranked Canada against No.
Named in the starting lineup for fourth-ranked Canada against No. 5 Australia in Pacific Four Series play at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Beukeboom will tie Gillian Florence as Canada’s all-time women’s caps leader with 67.
"I try to focus on the rugby but it is a really cool and surreal and awesome thing," Beukeboom said of tying Florence. Beukeboom won her first cap in July 2013 against England in Denver. Canada won 29-25, marking its first-ever victory over the Red Roses. Canada was runner-up at last year's Pacific Four tournament, defeating the U.S. 50-7 in Madrid before coming home to Ottawa where it downed Australia 45-7 and lost 52-21 to New Zealand in front of a Canadian women's record crowd of 10,092 at TD Place
She is in her first season playing for Trailfinders Women, which currently stands sixth in England's Allianz Premiership at 4-8-0.
