Oooooooohhh Canada!

The Canucks stunned Italy, early doors, in the World Cup Pool D encounter at Elland Road.

Winger DTH van der Merwe started the move in his own 22 and traded passes before douching down 80 metres up the park.

Van der Merwe linked up superbly with outside centre Ciaran Hearn before burning past the covering Italian defence.
