Tyson Beukeboom, who became Canada’s most-capped women’s player of all time during the Pacific Four Series in May, will reach a new milestone this weekend in WXV.

Beukeboom has been named to start in the second row and as captain for Canada against Ireland, which will see her earn her 70th cap at Willoughby Stadium at the Langley Events Centre on 5 October.

The match will see Canada and Ireland meet for the first time since 2016, and will mark the fourth matchup between the two. Since their first Test fixture at the 2002 Rugby World Cup, Canada have won two out of three, including their most recent match in 2016.

    ‘This Energy Never Stops’ – Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025

    Canada are currently on a five-game winning streak, which dates back to last year’s WXV competition where they finished as runners-up after wins against Wales and France.

    In contrast, Rori Wood will win her first cap if she comes off the bench, and openside flanker Caroline Crossley is named for her first start as one of five changes to the starting lineup from their opening victory against France.

    Alexandria Ellis replaces DaLeaka Menin at tighthead, starting alongside the otherwise unchanged front row with Brittany Kassil and Emily Tuttosi retaining their starting positions.

    Elsewhere in the forward pack, Courtney Holtkamp is named ahead of Laetitia Royer at lock, the latter moving to the bench. The back row is bolstered by Pamphinette Buisa and Gabrielle Senft who start alongside Crossley, with Fabiola Forteza named as a replacement.

    Taylor Perry and Alysha Corrigan are the last of the changes to the starting XV, and the only two made to the backs, as Perry replaces Julia Schell at fullback and Corrigan wears the starting shirt on the left wing in place of Paige Farries, who is not named in the team.

    Head coach Kevin Rouet said: “It was great to start off WXV 1 with a win last week against a top-four team in the world [France] but the squad quickly shifted their focus to be ready for what will be a tough game against Ireland this weekend. Ireland will challenge us but even with a short week to prepare the team has looked sharp throughout training. I am excited to see what they will do out on the pitch this Saturday.

    “We made some adjustments to the team after France because it is important that we continue to build depth in our squad. The Rugby World Cup will be a long journey and if we want to accomplish our ultimate goal, we will need a squad full of experienced and talented players. It will take more than just a group of 23 players.”

    Tickets for the match can be purchased here, and will grant fans access to all of the games on a single match day, meaning USA vs France is also included in the price of a ticket.

    Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

    Players like Prendergast and Finn Smith already have a few seasons at top club level under their belt and are now test players, at an age when NZ players make their debuts in SR.

    That’s just a difference in standards. You’re confusing SR for being their local domestic comps, where it’s more accurately comparable to Champions Cup, apart from that teams are happy to throw games as it’s in a bit of a limbo in terms of importance atm.


    All these kids have been playing for a comparable NPC team for years now. Sam is no where near ready for tests but he has a great temperament, much like Sextons, that makes it a good choice to speed up his development. He wasn’t even a comparable Super Rugby starter before playing for Ireland, so not a great comparison.


    Fin would be much better example, but then England don’t have 3 world class Test tens in front of him (not that I’d put Beauden their but obviously in terms of young NZ players chances, he is). Would he otherwise have debuted at the same age as Fergus Burke (injury and leaving withstanding), around 24, a couple of years later? England also aren’t as pedantic to who they give jerseys to, in NZ a test jersey is very hard earned for the most part.


    In general I think the effects are as you say, but the only difference is the money involved, as you yourself said, their paths are just as all over the show being loaned out playing for clubs etc. My solution to that, and what you perceive as the problem, would be to introduce university football that utilitizes the large investment they have into high performance sport.
