Canadian women’s sevens team downs Russia for bronze at Sydney Sevens
SYDNEY, Australia — Canada has earned another medal at the Sydney Sevens, just not the same colour as 2017.
The Canadian women’s team beat Russia 40-12 on Sunday at the World Series event to claim the bronze medal — a year after winning the tournament title.
Julia Greenshields led the Canadians with two tries, including one in the match’s opening minute to set the tone. Caroline Crossley, Breanne Nicholas, Jen Kish and Kayla Moleschi added a try apiece while Ghislaine Landry had five conversions.
Canada missed out on making it to the gold-medal game for the second year in a row after falling 26-0 on Saturday in the semifinals against New Zealand.
