Very disappointing result for Canada. I can't see them winning by 10 points in Montevideo so it looks like they will need to go through the repechage.
The Mens and Womens sevens teams were also in action this weekend. How did they do?
World Rugby Sevens Series Update
Round 3: From the gorgeous harbour city during the Australia Day long weekend, it's the Sydney Sevens!
1st Place: Australia
2nd Place: South Africa
3rd Place: Argentina
Australia wins their first tournament in over 5 years. The Aussie women also won with a dominating performance going the entire tournament without giving up a point.
How did Canada do?
-Loss vs Scotland 52-5
-Loss vs Australia 27-5
-Loss to USA 40-19
-Loss to Samoa 14-7
-Win vs PNG 31-14
-Win vs Scotland 14-12
Overall: 13th Place
It was a disaster for the Canadians who were devastated by injuries and lost all their pool games by a combined score of 119-27. They improved on the 3rd day coming close in a game against Samoa they deserved to win and then sort of redeemed them selves with two wins to close it out.
The Canadian women were the only bright spot this weekend, picking up the bronze.
