The Canadian men and women's rugby teams both recorded wins Saturday but only the women were able to advance to the quarterfinals of the HSBC Canada Sevens Tournament at BC Place in Vancouver.

The women used a 31-7 decision over Brazil to vent their frustration over a pair of opening day losses. The men won their second straight game by beating Chile 35-7.

The women finished with a 1-2 record in Pool C but moved on because of their point differential. The top two teams from the three women's pools advance to the quarterfinals, along with the two best third-place teams.

On the men's side, Ireland, Australia and Canada all had 2-1 records in Pool D. Only the top two teams advanced and Canada missed the cut because of point differential.
