Wayne Pivac’s side’s preparations for the 2023 Rugby World Cup begin in earnest with a friendly this afternoon at the Principality Stadium. Read on for how to get a Wales vs Canada live stream and watch this international rugby clash online – including for free across the UK.
With experienced hands named alongside a raft of uncapped newcomers, this international match provides a big opportunity for a number of young stars to work their way into Pivac’s plans.
There could be as many as five debuts for the home side with winger Tom Rogers and lock Ben Carter both expected in the starting line-up, while prop Gareth Thomas, back row Taine Basham and centre Ben Thomas are set to be among the replacements.
One player with a little less to prove is full-back Leigh Leigh Halfpenny who is set to make his 100th test appearance with the Scarlets star set to line up alongside his club teammate Rogers and Dragons man Jonah Holmes in the back-three.

How to watch Wales vs Canada: FREE live stream in the UK
BBC Two Wales will be broadcasting this opening summer international for Wayne Pivac’s men live.

Kick-off is set for 3pm BST, with the Beeb’s coverage getting underway at 2.45pm.

How to live stream Wales vs Canada if you’re not in your country
If you’re outside your country of residence – whether that’s Wales or anywhere else – and try to stream the rugby via your native broadcaster, you’ll soon discover that you can’t, as it’s location restricted. But there is a way to tune in regardless.
By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it’s back at home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage without having to find an illegal stream – assuming you comply with the broadcaster’s fine print, of course – specifically its terms and conditions.
