Canada head coach Kieran Crowley has named his 31-man squad for Rugby World Cup 2015.

The 31-man squad is split 17/14 between forwards and backs and features 18 players who have never graced rugby’s top stage before.

However, in Jamie Cudmore, Canada boast one of the most experienced Rugby World Cup campaigners around. Cudmore will front up for his fourth Rugby World Cup, becoming only the fifth player in Canadian history to play at four tournaments, joining Gareth Rees, Rod Snow, Mike James and Al Charron. Aaron Carpenter and DTH Van Der Merwe will be playing in their third Rugby World Cup.

“They bring a wealth of experience,” said Crowley.” Jamie’s been around a long time and Jebb Sinclair and Jason Marshall were both in the last World Cup. You can’t beat experience and it will add a lot to the group….. full story on >>> http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/86761
