Canada produce Try of the World Cup contender with 80-metre stunner (Video)

Patrick McCarry

Oooooooohhh Canada!

The Canucks briefly stunned Italy in the World Cup Pool D encounter at Elland Road before the Europeans clawed their way to a narrow victory.

Winger DTH van der Merwe started the move in his own 22 and traded passes before douching down 80 metres up the park.

Van der Merwe linked up superbly with outside centre Ciaran Hearn before burning past the covering Italian defence.

Sadly for Canada they couldn’t cling on for the win, but what a moment.
