The Scots ran up a 24-5 lead at the half before really bringing down the house in the second half.
The Langford-based Canadian men’s team discovered just how big a gulf lies between a Six Nations side and a rugby minnow in a 73-12 loss to Scotland before 11,447 fans at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa on Saturday.
“Even without some of their well-known players, Scotland is still a quality side with players coming from high leagues around the world, and this is a step up for us,” Canada captain Lucas Rumball told the Times Colonist, before the game. Canada head coach Kingsley Jones of Sooke said he saw the Test as the start of the buildup to the 2027 World Cup in Australia, for which the qualifying process begins next year. It was evident Saturday that work needs to be done.
“We talk about it, but the reality is today, without the ball, we weren’t good enough. It’s difficult for all of us. We really want to do better. The scoreline in the end is pretty disappointing.”
