Canadian men finish strong at London 7s with wins over Wales, Japan

The Canadian men finished 13th at the HSBC London Sevens on Sunday but recorded important wins over Wales and Japan to help them in their bid to avoid relegation from the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.

Canada came into London, the penultimate stop of the season, in 14th spot overall. The 15th- and 16th-place teams will lose their core status at the end of the campaign.

The Canadians held a slender edge over Wales in the standings with Japan 16th coming into London.

The men will wrap up their nine-event season Aug. 27-28 in Los Angeles.

My my, what a try!
