The 2019 Canada Sevens go March 9-10 at B.C. Place Stadium.
Canada plays at 11:01 a.m. against Samoa, 2:08 p.m. vs. Fiji and 5:40 p.m. vs. Kenya.England are off to a good start, beating Scotland 17-7. The Scots are plucky but don’t have a lot of go-forward, as we say in rugby.
The field is wide-open this weekend: Fiji underwhelmed last weekend in Las Vegas and are a little banged up, plus I’m hearing lots about how the players are not as focused on rugby as they have been in the past; South Africa are always hot favourites and also love playing here, same story for New Zealand.
#Canada7s wrinkle: virus going around one of the hotels where teams are staying. Affected teams: Chile, South Africa, Australia, Japan, *Kenya* and *Samoa*.Gates are open at B.C. Place, with the first game — Scotland vs. England — shortly after 9 a.m. • Canada’s youngest player, Jake Thiel, hails from Abbotsford and took huge strides last weekend. He said a moment vs. the All Blacks taught him a lesson.
