Milestone match for Canadian rugby captain as Canada hosts Tonga
KINGSTON, Ont. – Captain Aaron Carpenter celebrates his 50th cap for Canada on Saturday as the Canadian rugby team looks to build on Wednesday’s win over Fiji by dispatching another Pacific Island foe in Tonga.
Carpenter joins some select company with his 50th cap. There are only 13 other members of Canada’s half-century club.
Canada leads the IRB Pacific Nations Cup standing with a 2-0 record while Tonga is 1-0.
Coach Kieran Crowley makes 10 changes to the team that beat Fiji, freshening his squad while working in newly available players.
The Canadians trained in the rain Friday at Richardson stadium.
