Canada finished their November Test campaign on a high after beating Portugal 52-8 in Lisbon on Saturday.
Canada opened the scoring in the 11th minute when Ciaran Hearn got in for a try after running on to a pass from Harry Jones.
Pritchard converted and 10 minutes later got his first five-pointer — after gathering his own chip kick — which he also converted. He added a penalty before Russia got their first points on the board through a penalty from their full-back Pedro Leal.
Canada took their foot off the pedal for the rest of the half with Pritchard adding a penalty and his second try to give them a comfortable 25-3 lead at half-time.
After the interval the visitors upped the ante, with Hearns scoring his second try and Nick Blevins, Taylor Paris and Connor Braid also crossing the whitewash.
