Tuesday was a day off for matches at the Rugby World Cup 2019, giving the likes of New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, South Africa and Japan time on the training ground to work on tactics.

There are two games slated for Wednesday, with the United States facing France in Pool C (11.45am kick off UAE) before the two-time defending champions All Blacks meet Canada in the 2.15pm match in Pool B.

Canada have unhappy memories from their last encounter with the All Blacks. Back at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, Canada were on the receiving end of a 79-15 thumping.
