Canada name team for show down with the USA

Olivia DeMerchant (L) and DaLeaka Menin (R) of Canada during the Pool B Rugby World Cup 2021 match between Italy and Canada at Waitakere Stadium on October 16, 2022, in Auckland, New Zealand.

Canada coach Kevin Rouet has made five personnel and two positional changes to his starting line-up for the third and final pool game of the World Cup against the USA at Waitakere Stadium on 23 October.

Brittany Kassil is promoted back into the starting line-up with Olivia DeMerchant dropping to the bench. McKinley Hunt earns a start for the first time in the tournament, partnering Courtney Holtkamp in the second row. RWC 2014 runner-up Karen Paquin comes in on the blindside in the only other change to the forwards.

With Brianna Miller ruled out of the rest of the tournament through injury, Justine Pelletier will start alongside Alex Tessier in a new-look half-back pairing. Tessier shifts in one position to start a test at fly-half for the first time since their 15-9 victory over USA in the World Rugby Pacific Four Series in November 2021.

Sara Kaljuvee moves to inside centre with Alysha Corrigan joining her in midfield for her first RWC start, whilst five players come on to the bench for this match including prop Mikiela Nelson, second-row Ngalula Fuamba, back row Gabrielle Senft and utility backs Anais Holly and Julia Schell.

The Pacific Four Series match with USA in Tauranga in June was Rouet’s first as head coach and Sophie de Goede’s debut as Canada captain, both securing a winning start with the 36-5 triumph.

Canada have won their last five meetings with neighbours USA since a 20-18 loss in July 2019. They have never won six in a row against the Women’s Eagles.

They have lost both of their Rugby World Cup meetings with USA – their semi-final 46-6 in Amsterdam in 1998 and their fifth-place play-off 23-20 in Guildford in 2010.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
