Canada has outscored Uruguay and Sri Lanka 90-0.  I know those are weaker teams compared to Samoa and Ireland, but hopefully it's a sign they're taking this tournament very seriously.  They've been on a downward trend for the last 2 seasons.

the future playoff match between Ireland and Samoa will decide which team go to Rio, Canada is the only team with some chances to be the surprise, the rest are expectators looking for a miracle.

You can't form an opinion on Canada's chances until it at least faces Germany. Sri Lanka is the weakest team in the event while Uruguay isn't too much better.

 

It seems the gain in popularity in rugby sevens has hurt Tonga the most. They use to be on the outside looking in, but to be fair group A is a very strong group, both Zimbabwe and Tonga would have had a chance to reach the quarter-final if placed in any other group.

Great victory against Canada. Unfortunately it looked like Germany lost one of their best players (Sebastian Fromm) with a knee injury.

It is still close between Ireland, Samoa, Canada and never forget Hong Kong. At the end I also think Ireland will win the last quota place.
