Canada’s rugby sevens women hope to impress on home soil this weekend
After disappointing fifth- and sixth-place finishes the last two years on home soil, the Canadian women’s rugby sevens team looks to impress this weekend in Langford, B.C.
“We chose Langford as the event that we wanted to target,” coach John Tait said.
“This year I think we’re just a little bit more mature as a group,” he added. “I think we’re a stronger (squad of) 12 than we’ve ever been. We’ve got more depth across the board even though we’re younger.”
The first two editions of the home tournament have been disappointing. Canada went 3-0-0 on Day 1 both times but then lost in the Cup quarter-final.
