Canada will miss the Rugby World Cup for the first time after losing a two-legged playoff to Chile on Saturday for a place in the 2023 finals to be played in France.

The Canadians were defeated 33-24 in the second leg after edging the opener 22-21.

They had previously qualified for every World Cup, even making the quarterfinals in 1991.

Chile, who have never reached the global showpiece, will next face the losers of the clash between the United States and Uruguay in July next year.
