It's advantage Canada after the first of two Rugby World Cup qualifiers against the US Eagles ended in a convincing 34-21 victory.
Canada produced one of their best displays in recent times to defeat the US Eagles 34-21 with a huge win in St John’s, Newfoundland on Saturday.
Kingsley Jones’ side will now take a two-score lead into next Saturday’s rematch at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colorado as they look to book a date with Sudamerica Rugby (SAR) 3 Naciones winners Uruguay in the next stage of the qualification process.
The aggregate winner of the Rugby Americas North (RAN) 1 play-off between Canada and the USA will take on Los Teros, in another home-and-away series in October, to determine who will go to Rugby World Cup 2023 as Americas 1.
The loser of the RAN 1 play-off will take on Chile, the SAR 3 Naciones runners-up, to keep their RWC 2023 hopes alive with the winner to play in the Americas 2 play-off against the loser of that Americas 1 encounter.
Canada us in a very good position for their second leg against USA in Colorado next Saturday
