GRR: Canada Women 7s
The Canadian women's 7s team is undergoing a shakeup just as the 2021 Olympics is on the horizon.
The Olympics came to Olympia, sort of, as the USA, Canada, and Brazil women’s 7s teams scrimmaged in the Washington state capital this week.
Life action from this weekend's Serevi RugbyTown 7s, which includes an Armed Forces championship as part of the men's competition.

Canada dominated the final of the women’s rugby competition at the Pan-Am Games, defeating the USA 55-7.
The Eagles opened the scoring with a nicely-taken long-range try from Kristen Thomas, but after that, Canada controlled all. They poached brilliantly at the ruck, and either re-won their restarts or pinned the USA deep in their 22 and exerted pressure from here.
The USA’s first win against Canada (in the '14-'15 series) couldn’t have come at a worse time for the tournament host. After falling four points shy in the teams’ pool play match, the Eagles dug deep for a 19-12 victory over Canada in the Plate final. It was an exhausting, emotional triumph over a familiar opponent, and the Eagles earned it.
