Canada rugby 7s men lose 29th straight
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 HSBC SVNS circuit.
The fifth-ranked Canadian women, in contrast, finished fourth in their championship bracket, beaten 26-14 by No. 1 New Zealand in the bronze-medal game at Civitas Metropolitano Stadium, home of the Atletico Madrid soccer team. No. 5 France, which lifted the cup in Los Angeles and was runner-up in Hong Kong, defeated No. 1 Argentina 19-5 in a men’s championship game that saw Argentine star Rodrigo Isgro shown a red card in the final seconds for lifting France’s Paulin Riva and driving him into the turf.
Mahina Paul and Theresa Setefano scored first-half tries for New Zealand after Canada’s Charity Williams opened the scoring with her 99th career try. Canada was without Matt Oworu, who was serving a three-match ban triggered by a red card for a dangerous tackle Friday against Uruguay, and the injured Matt Percillier on Sunday.
The bottom four teams — the ninth-place U.S., No. 10 Spain, No. 11 Samoa and No. 12 Canada — dropped into the relegation bracket with the top four teams from the Challenger Series — Uruguay, Kenya, Chile and Germany.
