Canada drops to 0-2 in International Series after 43-20 loss to Russia
OTTAWA — Canada is not supposed to lose to Russia in men’s rugby, but someone forgot to tell the Russians.
Russia picked up its first-ever victory over Canada in men’s rugby with an impressive 43-20 win Saturday afternoon at Twin Elm Rugby Park.
“We have no excuses for this game,” said Canada’s Luke Campbell, who scored one of Canada’s two tries. “We did this to ourselves. We need to be better and if we don’t get better, we won’t win. We need to fix this and soon.”
Nick Blevins also scored, while Brock Staller had two penalty kicks.
