Tyson Beukeboom, who became Canada’s most-capped women’s player of all time during the Pacific Four Series in May, will reach a new milestone this weekend in WXV.

Beukeboom has been named to start in the second row and as captain for Canada against Ireland, which will see her earn her 70th cap at Willoughby Stadium at the Langley Events Centre on 5 October.

The match will see Canada and Ireland meet for the first time since 2016, and will mark the fourth matchup between the two. Since their first Test fixture at the 2002 Rugby World Cup, Canada have won two out of three, including their most recent match in 2016.

Canada are currently on a five-game winning streak, which dates back to last year’s WXV competition where they finished as runners-up after wins against Wales and France.

In contrast, Rori Wood will win her first cap if she comes off the bench, and openside flanker Caroline Crossley is named for her first start as one of five changes to the starting lineup from their opening victory against France.

Alexandria Ellis replaces DaLeaka Menin at tighthead, starting alongside the otherwise unchanged front row with Brittany Kassil and Emily Tuttosi retaining their starting positions.

Elsewhere in the forward pack, Courtney Holtkamp is named ahead of Laetitia Royer at lock, the latter moving to the bench. The back row is bolstered by Pamphinette Buisa and Gabrielle Senft who start alongside Crossley, with Fabiola Forteza named as a replacement.

Taylor Perry and Alysha Corrigan are the last of the changes to the starting XV, and the only two made to the backs, as Perry replaces Julia Schell at fullback and Corrigan wears the starting shirt on the left wing in place of Paige Farries, who is not named in the team.

Head coach Kevin Rouet said: “It was great to start off WXV 1 with a win last week against a top-four team in the world [France] but the squad quickly shifted their focus to be ready for what will be a tough game against Ireland this weekend. Ireland will challenge us but even with a short week to prepare the team has looked sharp throughout training. I am excited to see what they will do out on the pitch this Saturday.

“We made some adjustments to the team after France because it is important that we continue to build depth in our squad. The Rugby World Cup will be a long journey and if we want to accomplish our ultimate goal, we will need a squad full of experienced and talented players. It will take more than just a group of 23 players.”

Tickets for the match can be purchased here, and will grant fans access to all of the games on a single match day, meaning USA vs France is also included in the price of a ticket.

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
