South Africa v Canada Highlights

While the Canadians looked tired for most of the match, they tried their best to keep up. With only 14 players, their defence was admirable. Unfortunately, the SA side was running circles around them and made things interesting for viewers. Of course, the Canadians did put up a better fight than in their match with New Zealand. So, they can at least claim some points for this World Cup.

Canadian Team Captain Tyler Ardron went so far as to say that his team just couldn’t get their hands on the ball for the first thirty minutes after the match. In the match highlights below, this is pretty evident. However, they did make a few good attempts, but South Africa never fumbled. Thus, South Africa secured their #1 spot in the Pool B standings, and their ticket to the quarter-finals. Hopefully Canada can go home and practice for the next World Cup in peace.
