Good evening and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's RWC coverage as France take on Canada at Stadium MK. As France gear up to face Ireland in the pinnacle game of Pool D this fixture should serve as a stepping stone in their preparation. Saint-Andre makes 12 changes tot he side that saw off Romania with Dulin, Fofana and Le Roux the only players re selected. Canada will be quietly confident after they caused a near shock upset against Italy last week. DTH Van Der Merwe will be one to watch coming in off the wing after his electrifying performance last week. Kick off is coming shortly so stay tuned for updates on all the action.
