Ebbw Vale captain Sion Parry prepares for Rugby World Cup with Canada

Ebbw Vale captain Sion Parry is balancing his domestic rugby commitments with international duties for Canada. The 27-year-old flanker will miss the opening two rounds of the Super Rygbi Cymru season while competing in the Pacific Nations Cup. Parry is currently preparing for a Test against Fiji in Osaka, followed by matches against either Japan or the United States in Tokyo. His long-term goal is to secure a spot in the Canadian squad for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. Back home, Ebbw Vale looks to recover from back-to-back grand final losses in the league over the previous two seasons. Parry, who balances professional international play with his career as a carpenter, aims to rejoin the Steelmen after his current national team assignment.
