Canada finished fourth on the women's side of the Emirates Dubai 7s on Sunday after falling 26-5 to France in the Cup third-place playoff.

The Dubai event marks the season kickoff of the rebranded HSBC SVNS, formerly known as the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. The Canadians, who went 2-1-0 on the opening day including a 29-0 loss to the French, defeated Ireland 14-12 in the quarterfinal on the strength of tries by Charity Williams and Kristy Scurfield.

The Irish made it close with a late try but missed the conversion that would have tied the score. Canada led defending Series champion New Zealand 21-14 late in the ensuing semifinal but conceded a 13th-minute converted try to Jorja Miller to lose 21-19.

Florence Symonds and Carissa Norsten scored tries for Canada, which trailed 14-7 at the break. Olivia Apps scored the lone Canadian try in the third-place playoff that saw the French lead 19-0 at the half.
