KOBE: If Canada's players are feeling nervous ahead of Tuesday's Rugby World Cup game against twice champions South Africa they are not showing it, with coach Kingsley Jones saying the squad is in party mood ahead of the Pool B clash in Kobe.

"That’s all we can ask for from the guys, is the excitement of being involved in these games and fighting to the end of them. So far we have seen evidence of that. Prior to this World Cup, Canada had not met the All Blacks in eight years and had not played South Africa since 2000, which reveals their lack of opportunities to test themselves against the game’s elite."What this group of players do is learn and get better every week. There is a huge amount of growth potential," said Jones.
