During this Tour, Ken Pereira and Rob Short will reach and overcome (probably together) the "mythical" Canadian record of Caps held by Paul "Bubli" Chohan with 317 Caps. Bubli’s last Cap was in August 1997 against Belgium in Brussels (2-2).

Ken and Rob currently have 315 Caps, so they could reach 317 on April 14 in the second game vs. England, then 318 on April 17 in the first game vs. Ireland in Dublin.

Apart from that, Gabbar Singh, currently at 98 Caps, will reach 100 Caps in the second game he plays during this Tour. And Jesse Watson, currently at 45 Caps, could reach 50 Caps if he plays 5 games during the Tour.

Congratulations guys!
