Inconsistency has tripped up the young Canadian men's rugby sevens squad during the first half of the season, but head coach Henry Paul is confident his team can find its legs during this weekend's HSBC Canada Sevens rugby tournament.
"We have to stop doing the self-harm things," Paul said after a practice at BC Place Stadium. "Some of our fundamentals in the sevens game is letting us down. It's less what other teams are doing. We've got to fix what we want to do."
"It's been a rebuilding year," said Theil. "Any time when you have the full team switching over it's going to be a bit of a tough adjustment. Canada's best result was losing in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Malaga, Spain. In the following two tournaments in Seville and last week in Singapore, Canada won just one of 11 games."Endeavour and effort I can't fault," said the native of Tokora, New Zealand, who played internationally for both New Zealand and England. "We've been in most games with a score or less to go with time just expiring and we just do something a little bit silly, a little bit dumb.
"The thing Sean brings is he's been around and he knows these young players. Sean will back anybody and he wants to give these kids a shot."
