Canada takes on Chile on Sunday morning
The math is brutally simple for the Langford-based Canadian men’s rugby sevens team heading into the quarter-finals this morning of the 2024 Paris Olympics last-chance qualifying tournament at Stade Louis II in Monaco.
Canada kept alive its hopes by finishing 2-1 in Pool B on Saturday to qualify for a quarter-final berth against Chile. The winner of the Canada-Chile game will advance to a semifinal against the winner of a quarter-final match between South Africa and Uganda. The other quarter-final bracket features Great Britain against Tonga while Spain plays Hong Kong.
“It was always going to be a bit of a sticky group phase because everyone knows what it means and we’re three games away from the Olympics, so we’re in to a big day on Sunday, now teed up as well as possible,” Great Britain captain Robbie Fergusson said in a statement, after beating Canada. If Canada can advance past Chile in its all-Pan Am quarter-final, a formidable foe in the form of elite rugby nation South Africa likely awaits in the semifinals.
