Canada took control in the second half with 20 points to defeat the United States 32-11 and earn a berth in the semifinals at the Rugby World Cup on Sunday.
The third-ranked Canadians will face No. 1 England, the tournament favourite, next Friday at Eden Park in Auckland. No. 2 New Zealand, the five-time champions, meets No. 4 France in the other semifinal Saturday.
It marked Canada’s seventh straight win over its North American rival since 2019 — and the second in a week. In earlier quarterfinal action, England defeated No. 6 Australia 41-5, New Zealand downed No. 9 Wales 55-3 and France dispatched No. 5 Italy 39-3. The rain that featured in the earlier England-Australia game had stopped before kickoff leaving a wet pitch. Both Canada and the U.S. looked to kick the ball early, looking to pin the opposition back.
