Canadian women's rugby 7s look to carry Perth momentum into HSBC SVNS Vancouver

Canada's women's sevens rugby team, fresh off a season-best fourth-place in Perth, Australia, will open against Brazil at next month's HSBC SVNS Vancouver.

After facing Brazil and Spain on Feb. 21, Canada will close Pool A play against series leader Australia on Feb. 22 with the cup quarterfinals to follow. The fourth stop of the HSBC SVNS season, at B.C. Place Stadium, will wrap up Feb. 23 with the cup semifinals and final.

The Canadian women finished third last year in Vancouver.

Canada's men, relegated from rugby sevens top tier last June, will also be in action in Vancouver in an invitational event featuring Japan and Trinidad and Tobago. That event is separate from the 12-team men's HSBC SVNS field in Vancouver.
