Canada vs Japan Rugby Match Information:
For the upcoming Canada vs Japan match on June 11, Rugby Canada is offering great pricing for a limited time with a 33% discount ( $19.25 all in ) for school teams, youth groups and coaches. There are also incentive free ticket and official jersey giveaways as explained below. After the recent success of the World Rugby Sevens in Vancouver, Japan upsetting South Africa at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and with Vancouver's large Japanese population, we expect a sellout crowd at BC Place.
