Canadian teams begin play on Friday in South Africa
Sean White’s first HSBC World Series tournament as head coach of the Langford-based Canadian men’s rugby sevens team, 14th place last week in Dubai, wasn’t one to bank as a fond memory. The Canadian squad is looking for better beginning Friday in the season’s second tournament in Cape Town, South Africa.
This World Series season is hardly academic with the top-four teams earning berths into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Canada was a quarter-finalist in the Tokyo Olympics under head coach Henry Paul with a veteran team and would love to get back under White with a youthful, rebuilding squad.“They take the utmost pride in representing Canada and are pushing each other each day to be better than they were the day before. There’s a belief that’s growing each time we come together.
Selected for the Canadian roster this week in Cape Town are Victoria players Lachlan Kratz and Anton Ngongo of Castaway Wanderers and Jake Thiel of James Bay Athletic Association. Other players from Island sides are D’Shawn Bowen and Matthew Oworu of Pacific Pride and Josiah Morra of CW. Also named were Phil Berna, Alex Russell, Brock Webster, Elias Ergas, David Richard, Thomas Isherwood and Kal Sager.
“We bounced back well on Day 2 in Dubai, but it comes down to pool play,” Canadian head coach Jack Hanratty said in a statement.
