U Sports rugby calling for bench boss
There appears nothing more volatile or uncertain in sports than coaching a Canadian national team, even ones on the rise. Jack Hanratty will join the likes of basketball’s Nick Nurse and soccer’s John Herdman, who have left prominent Team Canada head coaching positions, when he departs the Canadian women’s rugby sevens team following the Paris Olympics this summer.
Hanratty guided Canada to a successful advancement to the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning the North American and Caribbean qualifying tournament last August at Starlight Stadium with a straight-ahead North-South style. “This has been one the most rewarding and challenging roles I have ever had,” said Hanratty, in a statement.
“We are looking forward to the final rounds of the HSBC SVNS Series , and then all eyes on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.”
