Canada Name Team to Face Brazil on Saturday 7:00 am PT Kickoff on TSN+
Canada have made a few changes to the roster that lost to Spain last weekend. Djustice Sears-Duru is injured so Cole Keith moves to loosehead prop and Conor Young starts at tighthead prop. The reserve props are Liam Murray and Tyler Rowland.
Kyle Baillie moves from blindside flanker to 2nd row and Mason Flesch gets the start at blindside. Kainoa Lloyd replaces Josiah Morra on the wing and Mitch Richardson gets the start in the centres with Gabe Casey moving to the bench. Ben Lesage moves from outside to inside centre. Cooper Coats comes into the roster as one of the 3 reserve backs.
It’s almost a year to the day, November 19 2022, when Canada played Namibia and lost 43-37. Cooper Coats scored 17 points in that match with tries by Corey Thomas (2) and Andrew Quattrin (2). Missing from that team are Corey Thomas, Josh Larsen, Josh Thiel, Lindsey Stevens, Kyle Steeves, Piers Von Dadelszen, Ross Braude, Owain Ruttan, David Richard and Brock Webster.
The teams have met 4 times before with each country winning 2.
