Canada-Japan Rugby Pacific Nations Cup in 25 August. 

Pacific Nations Cup Rugby returns to Ottawa’s TD Place and Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium this summer, with Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team hosting Scotland and Romania in July before welcoming Japan for their first match of the reimagined Pacific Nations Cup in August.

Canada will kick-off against the number six ranked Scotland on July 6 to contest for the Douglas Horn Cup, as TD Place plays host to international rugby for the third year in a row. Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team and Scotland last met in 2018 in Edmonton, and have competed for the perpetual Douglas Horn Cup, named after the father of Alan Horn, since 2008.

On August 25, Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team will open the Pacific Nations Cup against Japan at BC Place in Vancouver. This will mark the fifth time that BC Place has hosted an international test match, and the first time Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team has played in Vancouver since 2019.
