Canada, favorite, dominated Hong Kong this Friday (27-10), and at the same time won the last ticket for the next World Cup in Japan.
Canada needed only one point this Friday to qualify for the 2019 World Cup in Japan. But the Maple Leaf players did better than that, dominating (27-10) Hong Kong. Until then, Canada had already beaten Kenya and Germany in this repechage tournament held in Marseille. North American players will be in Pool B with New Zealand, South Africa, Italy and Namibia. Canada has already played in eight World Cup finals (including all editions), with a best-of-breed qualification in the quarter-finals in 1991.
