Episode Details

Canada’s men’s rugby team is on a mission to reclaim glory after missing the 2023 World Cup for the first time ever, kicking off their 2027 World Cup push with high-stakes home games against Spain, Portugal, and Zimbabwe in a new Nations Cup. Ranked 25th — the lowest in the tournament — they’re facing stiffer competition but fueled by renewed energy from veterans like Andrew Quattrin, who’s eager to pass on the World Cup magic to the current squad. Under head coach Stephen Meehan, who’s locked in through 2028, Canada stunned the US last August to qualify — a feat made harder by players juggling overseas pro careers. Their World Cup opener is October 4, 2027, against Argentina in Brisbane, in a brutal pool with Spain and Fiji. With their best finish dating back to 1991, this could be their time to shine.
