The final encounter between England and Canada ended with a 26-19 triumph for England in the 2021 Rugby World Cup semi-finals.
In preparation for the upcoming WXV competition in New Zealand, England is scheduled to host a two-Test series against Canada this September.
John Mitchell, the newly appointed coach, won’t be present at the matches due to his commitment to the Japanese team for the Men’s Rugby World Cup.
The Red Roses are slated to begin the series at 14:30 BST on Saturday, 23 September at Exeter’s Sandy Park. Coincidentally, the same day will witness England’s men team facing Chile in Lille during the Rugby World Cup (kick-off at 17:45).
The location for the second match of the series remains to be announced.
England secured their fifth consecutive Six Nations title earlier in April.
England’s forwards coach, Louis Deacon, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to confront one of the world’s top-ranked teams on our home ground. Canada boasts a robust team, and they offer an excellent opportunity for us to enhance our Six Nations campaign success and further our squad’s development. The two-Test series presents an ideal preparation platform as we gear up for the maiden WXV tournament in New Zealand.”
