Canada Wolverines Beaten by Reggae Warriors in Rugby League Test in Jamaica

On Saturday in Montego Bay, Jamaica defeated the Canada Wolverines 34-12 in a rugby league test match at the University of the West Indies, completing a doubleheader that day.
As a fundraiser for Hurricane Melissa, Canadian players self-funded the trip and donated supplies while Aaron Zimmerle reported visible storm damage at University of the West Indies.
Jalen Harrison, Oliver Lenahan and Jason Chuck scored tries as Canada trailed 14-4 at halftime, while Rhys Jacks coached the Canada Under-19 Wolverines in a 42-24 loss before captaining the seniors.
Canada's lack of recent internationals has left the Canada men with a low world ranking, and after setbacks the 2025 Rugby League World Cup is now held in 2026 with Canada denied a berth.
Canadian officials were told to build their domestic game, and Aaron Zimmerle, Canada coach based in Australia, hopes NRL's now-annual visits to Las Vegas will boost North American rugby league interest.
