Overview

• The 34-year-old lock is slated for her 81st test on Saturday at Sandy Park in Exeter, surpassing Aaron Carpenter as Canada’s all-time most-capped rugby player.
• Canada and Scotland are both 2-0 and already into the knockouts, with the match determining the group winner and quarter-final pathway.
• Canada named a largely settled lineup, recalling Paige Farries on the wing and starting Fabiola Forteza at blindside, with Laetitia Royer returning among the replacements.
• Brittany Kassil and Courtney O’Donnell are in line for their 50th caps off the bench, and Sophie de Goede enters as Canada’s all-time points leader with 262.
• Tournament metrics highlight a strong platform for Canada with 100% scrum success and a best-in-field 25 of 27 lineout retention, as coach Kévin Rouet targets cleaner execution.
