It was one day of delight and another day of disappointment for Team Canada at the massive Canada Sevens rugby event held March 11-12 at BC Place.
With West Vancouver’s Harry Jones acting as captain and North Vancouver’s Adam Zaruba acting as high-scoring battering ram, the Canadians came up big on Day 1, emphatically beating Scotland and Russia before pushing powerhouse New Zealand to the brink in a 15-14 loss.
Injuries caught up with the team on Day 2, including a concussion suffered by Zaruba, and Canada lost to South Africa and Argentina to settle into seventh place.
