Canada sees improvement despite 20-15 loss to United States in final warmup for Rugby World Cup Globe_Sports

“You don’t go into the change room and kick the boys when they are down when they’ve given everything, but by the same token it’s obviously not acceptable to lose,” said head coach Kingsley Jones.Canada had a chance to win the match in the game’s dying seconds but failed to push the ball into the U.S. end zone. Canada, ranked 21st in the world, managed two goal-line stands against the No. 13 Americans.

The Canadians took some solace in that the margin of defeat was much smaller than the 47-19 pasting they took the last time the teams met on July 27 in the World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup in Glendale, Colo. “We’re just not quite happy with the points we are scoring. If we can a couple more, we will put a lot of teams away.”

Canada’s last victory over the U.S. was in August 2013 when it won a two-game qualifying series for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. In the 13 games since Canada has a record of 0-12-1. Dating back to 1977 Canada is 38-23-2 in official matches against the Americans.
