Canada's trial by fire continues with a visit to storied Twickenham Stadium to face England on Saturday.
The Canadians were humbled 68-12 by Wales in Cardiff a week prior in what was their return to test rugby after nearly two years on the sidelines. Canada's last match prior to the COVID-19 pandemic was a heavy loss to South Africa at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, and the team lay idle until last week's return to the field.
The 21 months of inactivity showed against Wales.
“We hit the wall after about 20 minutes,” Canada coach Kingsley Jones said after the loss. “For the boys to finish the game the way they did was great. It is about the boys getting used to the speed. I thought they adjusted to it.”
Now Jones must get his team ready for another daunting task. The Canucks haven't faced a full England side since November 2004, when they were blanked 70-0 at Twickenham.
A return to the same venue nearly 17 years later presents an opportunity to earn some respect, but it will be a tall task for a team that's just starting to get back up to speed.
