SEVENS WORLD CUPS KICK OFF

Canada's Men's & Women's teams take to the pitch today in Moscow in RWC action.  For the men, UVic's  Nate Hirayama has been handed the captaincy for the campaign, always a chance as often Yak comes off the bench as an impact sub,  'onya, Nate - all the best to you and the boys from Ceedub.  Canada opens with NZ and on day #2 battles U.S. and Georgia.

 

The women open with the Netherlands, a country that has caused upsets amongst the BIG SIX, so will be a strong challenge to open the campaign.  There have been selection criticisms from some sources regarding this team but the Ruggernut's prediction is that it will be a breakout result for the women, with a top four finish at least.  They finish Pool play Vs. Tunisia and N.Z.
Ontario Blue's and CW's, Lucas Hammond shows the way!  Much will be on the shoulders of the youngsters, Justin Douglas, Hammond, James Bay's Ty De Goede and CW's Mike Fuli in Moscow.  The cautious "blooding" of this crew will need to produce results to fill some noticeable voids due to unavailability of other possibilities.

CW IS BEHIND BOTH SQUADS - GO, CANADA, GO!
