Tonga’s unrelenting pressure prevented Canada from gaining any significant momentum and left them with little opportunity to turn the tide until it was too late. Despite scoring two consolation tries through Isaac Olson. Canada was largely overshadowed by their hosts’ superior performance.

In anticipation of Monday’s rugby test match against Tonga, Canada’s coach Kingsley Jones has implemented three alterations to his starting lineup. The Canadian men’s rugby team is currently ranked 23rd globally. Faced a 28-3 defeat in their inaugural test against the Pacific Islanders ranked 15th in Nuku’alofa, the capital of Tonga.

Sion Parry made his debut as a substitute in the previous Tonga match. And is now positioned as the openside flanker in the starting lineup. This shift prompted Lucas Rumball to move to the blindside flanker position. And Mason Flesch who was part of the starting lineup in the previous match has been relegated to the bench.

Parry hails from Wales and plays for Pontypridd. He qualifies to represent Canada due to his mother being born in Ontario. Taking over the scrum half position is Jason Higgins, who is replacing Ross Braude. Additionally, Mitch Richardson is stepping in to fill the role at centre replacing the injured Ben LeSage.

LeSage grieved an injury due to a hazardous tackle

During the previous match, LeSage suffered an injury due to a dangerous tackle and was left disoriented early in the second half. This tackle led to the expulsion of former All-Black player George Moala. In summary, Canada’s coach Kingsley Jones has introduced three changes. To the starting lineup for their upcoming rugby test match against Tonga.

These changes involve Sion Parry’s move to openside flanker Jason Higgins taking over as scrum half. And Mitch Richardson filling in for the injured Ben LeSage at centre. Gabe Casey a former fullback and fly-half from UVic who was selected as a third-round pick by the Toronto Arrows in the 2022 Major League Rugby draft.

Jones, whose late father Phil Kingsley Jones once coached Tonga expressed his thoughts in a statement, saying. We were satisfied with many aspects of our previous game. We executed several things effectively. It’s not common to have statistics showing 58 per cent possession and 58 per cent territory.

He added Our objective is to enhance our precision and capitalize on those hard-fought opportunities. The Canadian matchday squad of 23 includes seven individuals from the MLR champion. New England Free Jacks with five in the starting lineup and two on the bench. Furthermore, six players from the Arrows are featured including three in the starting lineup.
