7 changes in the starting XV. 6 players in the game against the United States this time absent. Belgium tackles the second testing test of its summer tour against Canada this Saturday in Edmonton by opting for a certain rotation. Vliegen, Geraghty, Rassinfosse, Montoisy, Torfs, Wallraf and Senen are notably holders.
Change in continuity. An adage that applies to the Belgian team called to meet Canada this Saturday, July 12 at the Clarke Stadium in Edmonton (5 p.m., 1 hour Belgian on Saturday to Sunday).
Laurent Dossat and the staff indeed operate 7 changes in the starting XV. Bruno Vliegen thus relays Alexandre Raynier to the heel while Felipe Geraghty and Lucas Rassinfosse will start in the 3rd line in place and Jean-Maurice Decubber and William Van Bost.
Belgium also aligns with a new hinge: Isaac Montoisy and Matias sturdy replace Julien Berger and Hugo de Francq.
On the wings, Thomas Wallraf enters the team, as well as Jens Torfs forms the usual pair of centers with Florian stir. Simeon SOENEN is set to him in the back.
If there are therefore 7 changes in the starting XV, there are also 6 changes in the 23. From the part to Charlotte against the United States (36-17) last Saturday, Jean-Maurice Decubber, William Van Bost, Ervin Muric, Maxime Vacquier, Julien Masure and Lucas Sotteau are fading. In the other direction, Lucas Rassinfosse, Thomas Wallraf, Seppe Verelst, Basile Van Parys, Tom Calomme and Guillem Fernandez Grau enter the team.
The Test-Match in Canada is part of the preparation of Belgium for the World Recovery Tournament for the World Cup scheduled for November 8 to 18 in Dubai.
