Canadian rugby squad look to blend talent

The Canadian Press Published on Sunday, Nov. 08, 2009 1:09AM EST Last updated on Sunday, Nov. 08, 2009 1:11AM EST

Coach Kieran Crowley and the Canadian rugby team head off to the Far East on Sunday with five new caps in tow and a handful of overseas professionals slated to arrive a day later.

The uncapped players include six-foot-three 260-pound prop Tom Dolezel, a former football lineman from London, Ont., who has returned to rugby after attending the Calgary Stampeders’ camp as a free agent last year.

“I’m stoked,” Dolezel said of his first trip with the national team.

Canada, ranked 13th in the world, takes on No. 14 Japan in Sendai on Nov. 15 and then again in Tokyo on Nov. 22. The team then returns to Vancouver for a game against No. 16 Russia on Nov. 28.
