Demant replaces Chelsea Semple who was not available for selection due to illness, while Du Plessis replaces Kelsey Teneti who has returned to the Black Ferns Sevens programme.

@Stargazer said in Black Ferns v Canada:
I like the changes they've made.
Strange that they selected Teneti in the squad, only for her to go back to the Black Ferns 7s after the first test match.
I think they are keeping a very open mind still and using this series to experiment in a few areas.
They probably also have some squad number restrictions and will be moving players in and out to keep within caps.
Player identification is going deep. Not just for the RWC but for the future. Coaches have been attending club matches and watching players that are a couple of years away but on the radar.
All good signs for development and good to see that they have a wider vision than just later this year. -

Okay, I think I've found it. World Rugby is streaming the Pacific Four Series on it YouTube Channel, but these streams are geo-blocked for countries like NZ, Canada, Australia and possibly the USA. If you are outside these countries, you're likely to be able to watch the livestream. In NZ etc, you'll have to try a VPN.

23 Alysha Corrigan (Charlottetown, PEI) - CRFC/SaracensThere's a smattering of very Saffa looking names in that list. Is that a Canadian rugby scene thing?

@Stargazer said in Black Ferns v Canada:
@Crucial Which names do you mean?
Beukeboom, De Goede for example. Not saying they are imports (Google confirms they aren't) just wondering if there is a rugby scene in Canada of Saffa descent and origin.
-
@Stargazer said in Black Ferns v Canada:
@Crucial If you mean the names Beukeboom, Holtkamp and De Goede, then those are not Saffa names, but Dutch. There are a lot of Dutch immigrants in Canada.
Thanks. Thought it would be one or the other. I didn't realise there were lots of Dutch in Canada to be honest and the Saffa/Rugby thing seemed the more likely.
