The Canadian men lost 19-14 to Spain on Saturday and will play South Africa for 13th place Sunday, while the Canadian women lost 10-5 to New Zealand.
A full lower bowl on Saturday nearing 30,000 spectators at B.C. Place — dressed as everything from Mounties and lumberjacks to Where’s Waldos and bright-yellow bananas — greeted the Langford-based Canadian men’s and women’s teams in the rugby HSBC World Series Canada Sevens.
Through the whirlwind of on-field action, the other story in sevens rugby is always in the stands, where the fans are more expressive than almost any other sport. Veteran Canadian player Bianca Farella said she will miss the “intimacy” of Starlight Stadium “and being so close to the fans and being able to interact with them” but welcomed the greater exposure and equity that B.C. Place provides to the women’s Canada Sevens.
The top four teams in both men’s and women’s at the end of this HSBC World Series season will qualify automatically for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Canadian women’s team, a formerly reliable top-four placer, is in 10th place in the table with it looking increasingly likely it will have to go through the regional North America and Caribbean Olympic qualifier for the first time in team history.
