Canada Wolverines begin journey to 2025 Rugby League World Cup with game in Tampa
While the Canada Ravens women compete at the Rugby League World Cup currently underway in England, Canada’s men are taking their first steps towards the 2025 tournament.
The men, known as the Wolverines, play the USA Hawks on Saturday in a one-off international in Tampa, Fla.
The Canadians, who have not seen action since a 2019 tour to Serbia, are building towards next year’s Americas Championship, which doubles as a 2025 World Cup qualifier for the region.
“This is the beginning of the journey,” said Canada coach Aaron Zimmerle, who is working with an “emerging squad” featuring 12 national team debutants.
