NearPup 2,334 Posted February 25 #24 Share Posted February 25 I’ll be there tomorrow! But will plan to show up after the 9th and 11th place matches, so won’t see the Canadian men play (grabbing breakfast with friends instead).

It’s funny I live in Vancouver but am out of town this weekend. I’ve never once been to the Rugby 7’s 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh 7,030 Posted May 4 Author #28 Share Posted May 4 HSBC SVNS Singapore is on right now. Wouldn’t normally mention any of the action before the event ends unless any big wins happen, but I just wanted to discuss something. What’s going on with our men’s team? In Singapore, they started off with close loses to New Zealand (22-17, off a last minute try by Kitiona Vay) and Australia (21-14), which are good results. Can’t read too much into that though, usually they play at least one close match every event against a strong team, and then finish in dead last. That shouldn’t be happening.

This is commonly seen in inexperience teams or teams with a mental block. The good news is we have the talent so once we get a better coaching staff we could be something special.
