Canada off to dismal start at NZI Sevens

I was able to tune into a New Zealand sports radio broadcast of the New Zealand - Scotland game.  It sounded like New Zealand was pretty much in control the whole game.  I hope to actually view some of the sevens soon in an online delayed stream. 

So Canada was upset 31-5 against South Africa on the opening game for Canada at the New Zealand International Sevens.  South Africa was probably outplaying Canada for most of the game, unfortunately.  Possession is so important in rugby sevens and I bet SA kept ball in hand for a large portion of the game. I am disappointed to know that the boys could only manage one try though.  However, this is the first showing of Canada at the IRB Sevens World Series this year.  Canada did not play at the Dubai or South Africa Sevens tournaments.

Canada play Fiji in about 30 minutes.Fiji being the reigning NZI Sevens champs, it will be a nasty looking game from our side of things I am sure.  Good Luck Boys, you need it!
