The Canadians find themselves on the tail-end of their tour as a trip to Stadionul National Arcul de Triumf to face Romania is next week's finale to a journey that started against a Championship XV. Kieran Crowley will hope to enter that game on a high but victory over Samoa is a sizeable task as they boast the likes of Alapati Leiua, Kahn Fotuali'i, TJ Ioane, David Lemi, Alofa Alofa and Maurie Fa'asavalu amongst others. If they click, any team would struggle to stop them. Canada though have their own threats in the shape of Jeff Hassler, Conor Trainor and DTH van der Merwe while the power of Jamie Cudmore, Jebb Sinclair and Nanyak Dala will be used to create front-foot ball. Gordon McRorie's boot will also continue to play a role on tour. Two poor performances are unlikely from the Samoans though as they hope to build momentum before the game that almost never was at Twickenham next weekend.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of the November International Series with Canada facing Samoa in Vannes this evening.
