Canada Men's 15s head coach Kingsley Jones has made several changes to his lineup to face the USA Saturday in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Hooker Ray Barkwill returns in the front row, but he's the only one as Djustice Sears-Duru and Jake Ilnicki replace Noah Barker and Cole Keith.

Saturday, June 23 | Kickoff: 3 PM ET

After experimenting with a new halfback hinge against Russia (a 43-20 loss for the Canadians), Jones has gone back to a more tried and true combination with the always dangerous Phil Mack at scrumhalf and Shane O’Leary at flyhalf. University of British Columbia standout back Ben LeSage returns to the midfield.

 Local boy Pat Parfrey comes in at fullback while Kainoa Lloyd gets his first start on the wing.

Only 2 days to go! ????

“There’s a feeling of frustration and disappointment amongst the group," said Jones. "We played some young players, it’s difficult to find them an opportunity at that level and we knew it’d be a risk against a team ranked above us but we have to find out about each other. Unfortunately, they weren’t helped by the senior players and the senior players are frustrated, they felt they probably had their worst game.

"Our work this week has been on the mental side, we need to make sure we play with the right frame of mind on Saturday against a really good USA side who’ve just beaten Scotland and are full of confidence. Hopefully, we respond in a positive manner because we need a good performance."

Jones hailed the experienced of Parfrey and Mack, especially, and thanks the Seattle Seawolves, who have a Major League Rugby game this weekend, for releasing Mack, who is their player-coach.

"We need to concentrate on our performance and make sure we deliver," said Jones. "The support last week in Ottawa was exceptional and we felt we let the support down so we hope to put in a much better performance this week.”
