Six Nations Champions Wales host Canada in an international friendly. Wales won this year’s Six Nations after recording victories over Ireland, Scotland, England and Italy, but were denied the Grand Slam with defeat to France. Head to head these sides have met on twelve occasions, with Wales winning eleven of those encounters and Canada claiming a single victory. I’m Craig and will be taking you through the action with live updates and running commentary.
Jonah Holmes (Wales) beat the most defenders (21) and made the most clean breaks (9) of anyone in the Rainbow Cup this season, while he was one of just three players to make 300+ metres over the gain line with ball in hand (310, also Renato Giammarioli and Jayden Hayward).
Canada conceded 18 turnovers per game on average at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, more than any other side, while only Samoa (12.3) conceded fewer than Wales (13.1 per game).
