MADRID — A dismal season ended in relegation for Canada's rugby sevens men on Sunday, beaten 22-14 by Spain in a win-or-bust match that dropped the loser out of the elite HSNC SVNS circuit.
The top eight men's and women's teams competed in a winner-take-all bracket for the title of Grand Final champion in Madrid while the bottom four looked to avoid relegation. France and Australia met in the women's final while No. 5 France faced No. 1 Argentina in the men's championship game. A solo effort by Josiah Morra, taking advantage of a defensive miscue, cut the Spanish lead to 10-7 with a Cooper Coats conversion. But Spain struck back with a second Ramos try capping off a well-executed attack for a 17-7 lead.
