It wasn't pretty, and defence is still a big concern for Canada...but a win is a win.

Canada held out Zimbabwe to get their 1st win of the year & 1st win of the Nations Cup.

The next leg will be in November; until then it is the Japan test, and PNC in Sept.

FT: 23-19

We should be looking at full-time, but due to a lightning delay, it's only half-time!

A converted try to end the half for the hosts, but both sides have been conceding penalties from unforced errors. However, only Canada has been able to capitalize.

40 to go.

HT: 11-0

Olmstead moves to the Canadian 2nd row to cover the injured von Dadelszen, Rumball returns to the back row and Cooper Coats returns at 10 as Nelson moves back to 15!

Jacob Ince earns his first test start, and DeWitt, Webb, and Kratz all come into the reserves to face Zimbabwe!
