The Canadian women’s team defeat New Zealand 22-19 for the first time ever and win the pacific four series title. This moves Canada into second in the world rankings behind England .

Good stuff, but this is a thread for sevens

Men’s team is at an all time low. Just lost to Germany at HSBC SVNS Madrid…

Women’s team through to the semifinals at HSBC SVNS Madrid! 

 

VERY good 26-17 upset win over New Zealand, and a 22-17 win over Great Britain, combined with a narrow 26-19 loss to United States.

In the end it’s a 4th. Narrow 19-17 loss to France in the semifinals, and 26-14 to New Zealand for bronze.

This was the proposed venue for the 2015 Pan Am Games rugby sevens competition before it was moved away. I feel like that would have saved the venue. Oh well.
