The Roll of Honour at the historic Sandwich links is one of the most eclectic on the Open rota. Harry Vardon won two of his record six titles here, Walter Hagen was also a two-time champion, Bobby Locke had his name engraved on the Claret Jug four times, the first at Royal St George's in 1949, and it was another 32 years before golf's oldest event returned to the Kent coast. "If you get brushed aside, people don't appreciate how hard Associate cricket is. We've made some good strides and I'm really proud." Danty takes Ntamack's place among the centres, where he will partner Fickou, while the back-three is made up of wings Gabin Villiere and Damian Penaud, with Melvyn Jaminet at full-back. As half-time approached a moment of magic saw Canada close the gap, thanks to a superb solo score from wing Sabrina Poulin, who hit an arcing run off an attacking scrum to zip over into the corner.
