Canada was aided by the return of Nathan Hirayama from injury.

In the Women's tournament New Zealand took gold, Australia silver, and Canada bronze.

Next week is the Canada Sevens at BC Place. Any CPers going?

I have lots of friends who went last year and I wouldn't mind checking it out. I think it would be fun, but its just not a huge priority for me.
Yuck, 7's is just a track meet with a rugby ball, no thank you. The game really has become about finding the fastest guy sticking him on the end and throwing a couple of misses with dummy runners to freeze the D then letting buddy run around the cover.

I honestly wonder is a fella like Waisale Tikoisolomoni Serevi would have had the same career if he came onto the scene now.
