Scotland and Canada share a rich competitive history, having faced each other across four Rugby World Cups (1994, 2002, 2010, and 2025). The last time Canada traveled to Scottish soil was at Scotstoun in 2018, where the visitors edged out a razor-thin 25-28 victory. This time around, Scotland will be looking to capitalise on home advantage and turn the tables in front of a energetic home crowd.
