Canadian men blast Uruguay 26-0, women beat Poland 35-7 at HSBC France Sevens
Thomas Isherwood scored two tries to help Canada blank Uruguay 26-0 Friday at the HSBC France Sevens.
Morra and David Richard also scored tries in Canada’s earlier 29-12 loss to Series-leading New Zealand. Kratz kicked a conversion. The Canadian men wrap up Pool A play Saturday against No. 13 Kenya, a side led by former Canada coach Damian McGrath. With the wins over Poland and the United States, ensuring a spot in Saturday’s cup quarter-finals, the New Zealand women clinched a seventh World Series title in 10 years. The Black Ferns sevens squad won five of the six previous tournaments this season.
The number of core teams on the men’s circuit is being reduced to 12 from 16 next season to match the number of women’s sides and to align with the Olympic competition structure. Uruguay came into Toulouse with 49 points, one point ahead of No. 12 Spain with both teams will be looking to avoid the relegation playoff in London.
