Netherlands will face Canada on Saturday 12 November at 14:30 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, National Rugby Center (5:30 pm PT/8:30 pm ET). Head Coach Kingsley Jones has announced the match schedule for the Canadian men’s rugby team in a DHL-presented friendly against the Netherlands. Andrew Coe, from Markham, Ontario, will start on the wing as he returns to international rugby as a 15-year-old. Coe, who represented Canada at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, most recently played in his 15s program for Canada at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
The 26-year-old played rugby for his New York in his MLR season in 2022. Coe started on the New York wing in the MLR Championship Game, beating the Seattle Seawolves 30-15. Lucas Ramball and Ben Lusage will captain a mix of veterans and new young talent as Canada continues to prepare for the next round of Rugby World Cup qualifiers from 2025.
“I’m looking forward to Saturday’s match against Holland,” said Jones. “On and off the field, you can see how excited the team is to return to testing rugby. It is included. The trio joined the squad earlier this week after representing Canada in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Hong Kong from 4-5 November.
