Canada, currently ranked 14th in the IRB World Rankings, have qualified for every World Cup 2011 so far, with their best performance reaching the quarter finals. Their style of play is tough and uncompromising however with very strong opponents in Pool A (New Zealand, Tonga, France and Japan) they will probably struggle to qualify. |
