ANDERSON: You're back with CONNECT THE WORLD. I'm Becky Anderson. At its best sport can unite the world. And we saw an example of that in Japan after the typhoon there hit. Canadian rugby players saw their weekend World Cup match versus Namibia cancelled. And so, instead they helped with recovery efforts in what is a coastal city. Their efforts drawing praise from Rugby World Cup organizers who said on Twitter, the Canadian players showed the real values of the game. "WORLD SPORT" Rhiannon Jones joining me from London. These three matches cancelled over the weekend. This sort of behavior from a rugby team is just absolutely commendable, isn't it?</s>RHIANNON JONES, WORLD SPORT: It's brilliant. It's lovely to see those Canadian players helping out. And like you say, some of those matches, of course, cancelled. But luckily Japan-Scotland wasn't, Becky. Because what a match that was. Emotionally charged, gripping and history making. More coming up on "WORLD SPORT" next.</s>ANDERSON: Fantastic. That all after this short break, folks. Stay with us.
