Time for the anthems

The sides are out as Canada make their way onto their home ground in their familiar red kit

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the USA vs Canada. It's a battle for North American pride in the fifth place play-off between Canada and USA. The hosts have lost all three of their matches in the Pacific Nations Cup, including the heart-breaking loss to Samoa which saw them give the lead away in the dying seconds of the match. The USA have also had a disappointing tournament with just a solidarity victory against Japan. Both sides will be looking to significantly improve their performance leading to the world cup a few months away. Ultimate Rugby will keep you up to date throughout the match.

Go Eagles!
