World Rugby Sevens Series Update

Round 2: It's the South Africa Sevens in beautiful Cape Town.



1st Place: New Zealand
2nd Place: Argentina
3rd Place: South Africa


The All Blacks won their first series in over a year. They are the early 2018 favourites.



How did Canada do?

-Loss vs Samoa 19-17
-Win vs Fiji 22-14
-Win vs Wales 31-14
-Win vs France 35-7
-Loss vs Argentina 14-12
-Loss vs South Africa 19-17

Overall: 4th Place

It was a great tournament for the Canadians who showed they could compete with the world's best. The highlights were a pool win against Fiji and a dominating quarter final win against France. Even their losses were close with 2 points being the margin in all of them.

Up Next: The series takes a break until the Sydney Sevens from January 26-28th. Note the Australia and New Zealand events have switched places this year.
