Canadian rugby sevens men finish off World Series season in London, Paris
A trip to London and Paris is a walk in the park for the Canadian rugby sevens men after an April marathon that took them to Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore.
The European tour is a chance to end the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series on a high note and set the tone for the marquee Rugby World Cup Sevens in July in San Francisco.
Canada opens the London Sevens on Saturday against No. 9 Samoa before facing No. 2 South Africa and No. 15 Russia at Twickenham, the home of English rugby. The season finale goes June 9-10 in Paris.
It’s been a disappointing campaign for the Canadian men, who currently stand 11th in the World Series standings. Canada finished eighth in 2016-17, 13th in 2015-16, ninth in 2014-15 and sixth in 2013-14.
