The Third-Place Play-off of the 2025 Pacific Nations Cup will take place between Tonga and Canada.
Tonga finished Pool A placed second behind Fiji after their solitary group stage win over Samoa ended up being enough to qualify for the knockouts. However, they stumbled to a massive 62-24 loss to Japan in the Semi-Final and will now have to settle for third place at best.
Canada reached the semi-final despite their leaky defence as they managed to defeat the USA. However, the lack of form was apparent in the 63-10 loss to Fiji, as they struggled to keep the defending champions away from the goal line.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff time.
