Kevin Tkachuk was in action for Canada in France
Despite a tenacious display, Canada - including Glasgow's Kevin Tkachuk - fell 50-6 to France in Nantes on Saturday in front of a capacity 38,600 jubilant fans.

"They were putting a lot of pressure onto us in the tight," said Kevin. "The thing is we don't have enough guys on the team playing this kind of rugby week-in and week-out. There are just so many steps up from domestic Canadian rugby to this level. We did better in the sets as the game went on and playing against such a good team will no doubt help us build for our game against Romania next week. When we drove the ball we did very well and that was positive. That is one of the best teams in the world that beat Australia last week."
