Canada U20 will play Hong Kong on Wednesday, July 17th at the World Trophy in São José dos Campos, Brazil.
They have lost to both Tonga and Portugal and a win will place Canada in 5/6 ranking game. Hong Kong have no points in the standings but have played attractive rugby.
Four changes have been made. David Carson replaces Michael McCarthy, who is injured at hooker. Mason Flesch comes in for Will Matthews at flanker, Lockie Kratz starts at inside centre and Quinn Ngawati moves to outside centre to replace Gabe Casey.
