Canadian teams out of rugby sevens medal hunt
The Canadian men’s and women’s teams experienced a roller-coaster ride Saturday that left them out of the medal hunt at the HSBC Canada Sevens Tournament despite posting a couple impressive wins.
“It’s not where we wanted to be,” said hooker Alex Russell. “That’s the brutal nature of sevens. You’re playing for that top eight and suddenly you’re in that bottom four.” New Zealand has won three of the four tournaments this season. The Black Ferns won their three previous games this weekend by a combined scored of 127-14.
The women play Ireland in their first game Sunday. The best they can finish is fifth, which would be their best result of the season. The men needed to reach the quarterfinals of the next four tournaments — while managing wins when playing the teams ahead of them — to gain enough points to climb into 11th place or better and avoid playing in a relegation playoff.After being drubbed 35-5 by Ireland in their opening match the men rebounded to upset Australia 27-12, setting up the crucial game against Chile.
Farella is playing in her 44th sevens tournament, tying her with Australia’s Sharni Williams for most on the all-time list.
