Canada win hearts of Japan and rugby world
Their final pool match against Namibia may have fallen foul of the weather, but Canada – including Glasgow Warriors’ very own DTH van der Merwe – ensured that their time in Japan wouldn’t be forgotten in a hurry as they helped out with the recovery effort in Kamaishi.
Following the cancellation of their match in Kamaishi, @RugbyCanada players headed out to help with recovery efforts, showing the true values of the game.
Amazing scenes and brilliant to see from the team. #RWC2019 pic.twitter.com/jdXQlyD2ZM
