Canada Sevens rugby event begins Friday in Vancouver
Bianca Farella said she will miss the “intimacy” of Starlight Stadium but welcomes the greater exposure and equity that B.C. Place will provide to the women’s HSBC World Series Canada Sevens.
“It’s exciting to play in a huge stadium and align with the men’s tournament,” said the veteran Farella, a member of Canada’s 2016 Rio Olympics bronze-medallist team.Not that there aren’t regrets about the women’s tournament leaving Starlight Stadium. The Canadian women’s and men’s teams train there daily and consider the West Shore as home base for the program.
Canada will open group play today at B.C. Place against Ireland and the U.S. and will meet Brazil on Saturday. The top four teams at the end of this HSBC World Series seasons will qualify automatically for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Canada, a formerly reliable top-four placer, is in 10th place in the table with it looking increasingly likely it will have to go through the regional North America and Caribbean Olympic qualifier for the first time in team history.
