Kévin Rouet has named six debutants in his squad for Canada‘s Pacific Four Series opener against the Wallaroos in Sacramento, California.
The squad features 15 players that featured in the team’s runners-up finish at the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup. With Alex Tessier unavailable due to injury, scrum-half Justine Pelletier will captain the team this weekend.
2024 Olympic silver medalist Chloe Daniels makes her Canada Women’s debut at full-back after several months with Bristol Bears in Premiership Women’s Rugby. Aurora Bowie gets a start on the left wing for her first cap.

Kiki Idowu and Brooke Rempel could win their international debuts from the bench after they starred for Canada U21 Women on a three match tour in Europe. Sierra Gillis and Corinne Frechette are also names among the replacements.
World Rugby Women’s 15s Player of the Year, Sophie de Goede, is named on the bench having recently returned from injury for Saracens in PWR.
Kévin Rouet, Canada Women head coach, said: “It’s been a short preparation window, but everyone is excited to get back on the pitch and play for Canada again. I’ve said it a few times already, but it’s important to recognise that we are at the beginning of a new cycle.
“We need to focus on giving our young, up-and-coming players opportunities to showcase themselves at the international level. We have a great mix of youth and experience in our roster for Australia, and it should be an exciting match.”
