However, the results counted for nothing as both teams had fallen out of contention for a place at the Rugby World Cup set for Japan next year.
Canada, who led the group with 10 points, were due to meet Hong Kong at 11pm for a place in the Japan finals.
Canada only need a point from the clash to qualify. However, Hong Kong had a difficult task of defeating Canada by a margin of 57 points, while hoping that the Canadians doesn’t secure a bonus point for them to make it to Japan.
