RWC2011: Japan vs Canada, McLean Park, 27 Sept 2011
It was a case of a history repeat for Canada and Japan in the Rugby World Cup clash at McLean Park in Napier. The two Pool A teams drew their match at McLean Park 23-all following a 78th minute penalty from Canada's first five-eighth and vice captain Ander Monro in front of 14,335 fans. The two countries drew their 2007 World Cup match 12-all. Both teams blew early scoring opportunities. Canada's openside flanker Chauncy O'Toole spilt the ball forward with the line open in the first minute.
