Canadian men finish 14th in HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, will face relegation
New Zealand defeated Argentina 19-17 Sunday to win the HSBC Singapore Sevens and become the first men’s team to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“To qualify for Paris means everything to us,” said New Zealand coach Clark Laidlaw. “The first thing this year is to qualify for the Olympics. Everybody talks about it, but you have to be there to have a crack so we’re super-happy we’ve managed to do that and win another final. Now we look ahead to France and London to try to win the World Series.”
No. 3 Fiji rallied from a 19-7 deficit to down No. 6 Samoa 24-19 in the bronze-medal game. Samoa, which has lost 10 straight third-place games on the circuit, had beaten Fiji 28-7 earlier in Pool B play. They went 2-4-0, losing the 13th-place playoff 22-17 to the eighth-ranked Americans despite three tries by Josiah Morra.
