Tournament begins June 21 in Monaco
The 12 Canadian men’s rugby players who will carry qualification hopes for the 2024 Paris Olympics have been named. Phil Berna will captain the Langford-based national sevens side for the last-chance Games qualifier June 21-23 at Stade Louis II in Monaco.
“The goal is 1-0. Game by game. Moment by moment. Remaining present and steadfast on what our strengths are as individuals and how they contribute to the collective will be key for our success. We are aware of the challenges we will face and are ready to conquer them as they arise.” Canada was a quarter-finalist in the delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021 with now-retired veterans such as UVic Vikes great Nathan Hirayama, Connor Braid of Victoria and Harry Jones of North Vancouver leading the way. A suddenly younger and rebuilding Canadian side was redirected to the last-chance qualifier this time around for Paris 2024 by placing second to the U.S. in the direct North American and Caribbean Olympic qualifying tournament held last summer at Starlight Stadium.
