DÉVOILEMENT DU GROUPE U20 CANADIEN CONTRE LE CHILI
PUNTA DEL ESTE, URUGUAY – L’équipe canadienne masculine U20 s’apprête à disputer son dernier match de phase de groupes au tournoi du Trophée U20 de World Rugby 2017 et l’entraîneur-chef Jeff Williams a apporté deux changements à la formation de départ qui affrontera le Chili mercredi (10 h 30 HE / 7 h 30 HP) à Punta del Este, en Uruguay. Après avoir subi des défaites contre la Namibie et le Japon, les Canadiens chercheront à battre le Chili pour remporter une première victoire au tournoi du Trophée U20. Une victoire placerait le Canada dans le match pour le cinquième rang samedi alors qu’une défaite les relèguerait au match pour le septième rang. Le seul changement devant au sein du groupe de partant de Williams voit Jamie McNaughton profiter d’un premier départ dans ce tournoi au poste de flanqueur à droite, en remplacement de James O’Neill. Par ailleurs, Niko Clironomos sera aussi du XV partant canadien à la place de Josh Thiel comme centre gauche. Ce sera un premier match en uniforme dans le tournoi pour McNaughton tandis que Clironomos était substitut lors des deux premiers matchs des siens. Dans la mêlée, le trio composé de Connor Sampson, Steven Ng et Cole Keith formera la première ligne devant Liam Doll et Matt Beukeboom, de retour en deuxième ligne. Avec McNaughton sur la ligne arrière, on retrouvera les partants réguliers Lachlan Currie comme flanqueur et Jake Thiel, qui a marqué un des deux essais du Canada contre le Japon, au poste de numéro 8. Parmi les arrières, Fraser Hunt sera une fois de plus partant comme demi de mêlée, tandis que Will Kelly sera partant comme demi d’ouverture. Cole Davis et Anton Ngongo, ce dernier auteur d’un superbe essai dans la dernière sortie du Canada en interceptant un ballon sur une remise en jeu pour ensuite s’échapper et franchir la distance démarrera sur les ailes tandis que le capitaine George Barton viendra s’insérer avec Clironomos comme centre droit. Pour le troisième match de suite, Aidan McMullan sera l’arrière partant. La finale aura lieu le 10 septembre, de même que les matchs pour les troisième, cinquième et septième places.
