Canada "A" set to close out APC against Tonga "A"

Looking for their first win of the competition, Jones’ outfit faces a Tonga “A” side that defeated USA “A” 39-30 but were defeated 23-15 by Samoa “A”.
 
Led by Captain Phil Mack, the selected Canada “A” roster sees a number of changes from the first two fixtures against Uruguay “A” and Argentina XV.
 
“Despite a number injuries, along with losing Conor Keys back to Rotherham, which was previously agreed upon before the tour, we still have a strong starting team and are preparing for a win tomorrow,” said Jones from South America.
 
“We are looking for an improved performance from Wednesday and a win,” he added.
 
Canada's final match of the tournament will be October 14 at 10am ET/7am PT against Tonga "A". The game will be broadcast live on World Rugby's website and Facebook page.
