Canada men’s rugby sevens team looks to turn things around at Commonwealth Games
GOLD COAST, Australia — After a disappointing 10th-place finish in Hong Kong, the Canadian men’s rugby sevens team hopes to turn things around at the Commonwealth Games.
“There’s a lot of belief in this team,” said playmaker Nate Hirayama. “Last year we had a bit of bounce-back season and I think the feel on the team is we can get back to that at any moment. So we’ll trying to find that form.”
The Canadians finished eighth overall on the World Series last season, hoisting the trophy in Singapore for the first Cup win in their 140th event on the circuit.
But this season has been challenging to date.
