U.S. edges Canada on consolation side
With no disrespect to the other nations competing, the men’s rugby sevens final in August at Starlight Stadium in the North American and Caribbean qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics, will likely come down to host Canada versus the U.S.
Josiah Morra scored three tries for Canada against the U.S. Oak Bay Secondary-graduate Lachlan Kratz, Brennig Prevost, a University of Victoria Vikes player out of Glenlyon Norfolk School, and Will Percillier of Mill Bay, out of Brentwood College, all scored points in the tournament as Canada went 2-4 in Singapore to place 14th.
New Zealand beat Argentina in the final while two-time defending Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic-champion Fiji took the bronze medal in Singapore. Both the Canadian men and women are gearing up for the North American and Caribbean qualifying tournament for the 2024 Paris Olympics to be held Aug. 19-20 at Starlight Stadium. The men’s and women’s winners will advance directly to Paris 2024 while the runner-up teams will get a berth in the world at-large, last-chance Olympic qualifier next year at a venue to be decided.
