Edmonton Men’s Rugby vs Belgium

These matches will serve as preparation for Canada for the 2025 Pacific Nations Cup, which will kick off with the team taking on the USA on home soil in August, Canada’s first opportunity to earn direct qualification for the 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup. 

Canada’s match in Edmonton against the 22nd world ranked Belgium, who just booked a spot in this fall’s Rugby World Cup Final Qualification Tournament, will be the fourth-ever meeting between the two nations. Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team last played and beat the Belgians 45-0 in Halifax in July 2022. This will also mark the first match for Steve Meehan as the Canadian team’s new Head Coach, with both games an important opportunity for players to impress as the program prepares for Rugby World Cup qualification.
