Of note, over 18 current Canada National Senior Women’s team members have committed to participating in leagues overseas for the upcoming season, including English Premiership Clubs Saracens, Exeter Chiefs, Loughborough Lightning, Worchester and French Division 1 clubs: Le stade bordelais and Lons Rugby Féminin Béarn Pyrénées. Ranked third in World Rugby’s rankings, Canada were regular visitors to England prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The two teams contested consecutive games across a three-match series in 2017. They last met on English soil at Doncaster Knights’ Castle Park in a well-contested 27-19 win for the Red Roses in November 2018.
