Tournament kicks off on Saturday at Starlight Stadium
Jack Carson remembers as a kid playing as part of the half-time show during club and Canada rugby games at Starlight Stadium.The home-turf advantage in this week’s North American and Caribbean rugby sevens qualifier at Starlight Stadium for the 2024 Paris Olympics is double-layered for Victoria players Carson and Lachlan Kratz.
“It’s in our blood,” said Carson, of this family’s myriad rugby connections. “My family and friends will all be here cheering us on this weekend.” Canada is going to need any edge it can get. Captain Phil Berna, Cooper Coats and Josiah Morra are the only three Canadian players who were in the previous Olympic qualifier on the Cayman Islands in 2019, out of which Canada qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics by beating Jamaica in the final.
This is the first time the Canadian women have had to play in the regional Olympic qualifier after having advanced directly to the 2016 Rio Olympics, where the team won the bronze medal, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics by placing in the top-four of the previous year’s World Series standings.
