Canada name team to face All Blacks

Canada coach Kingsley Jones has named his team for the Pool B match against New Zealand at Oita Stadium on Wednesday, 2 October.

Canada made six changes in the initial XV that lost to Italy in their first game, with Djustice Sears-Duru to play his first starting game in the Rugby World Cup after having been in five games as substitute.

DTH Van der Merwe will become the player with the most starting games (14) for Canada in RWC, matching Rod Snow and Jamie Cudmore.
