This year’s tournament is back at Vancouver’s B.C. Place Stadium, the sixth stop on this year’s World Rugby Sevens Series.
The HSBC Canada Sevens have been a hit with fans since the first edition in 2016. And despite the pandemic, it has managed to keep going over the past two years.
The season resumed last week in Singapore and this weekend’s Vancouver tournament is the sixth stop on this year’s series.The Canadian squad is filled with fresh faces. Stars like Nathan Hirayama retired after last year’s Tokyo Olympics, where Canada finished eighth. Such a performance doesn’t look to be in the cards for Canada, who had a hard go last weekend in Singapore, scoring some nice tries but overall struggling to match the pace of their more experienced opponents.
Canada’s pool this weekend is tough: South Africa, which won the first four tournaments on the season, Australia, which finished third in Singapore, and Spain, which has managed to make the ninth-place final at all five tournaments this season.Article content It was a dramatic return to action for the Tokyo silver medallists, who lost to Fiji in the Singapore final. Fiji won the gold — they were the defending Olympic champions — in Tokyo as well.
