Rugby 7s Senior Men

Hosted by Great North 7s, the four team tournament featuring Canada Red, Canada White, USA Stars, And USA Stripes competing on July 11-13, 2019 at Fletcher’s Fields in Markham, ON.

NextGen 7s Program Lead Nigel D'Acre is looking forward to the start of camp next week. "We are excited to work with 26 players from across the country during the 3 day mini-camp before the tournament begins. Both squads are comprised of some very talented players and the coaching staff [Sean White and Sonny Raina] and I will be working closely with each of the athletes in preparation for their hit outs versus the USA national squads later in the week.”

This will be the first time that Canada and USA U18 Boys sevens programs will compete against each other since March of last year at the Youth Olympics Game Qualifiers in Las Vegas.

“This tournament is another great chance for players to raise their hands to be a invited into our top 40 group. We are looking to identify and develop players who are skillful, faster, stronger and want to play an exciting brand of rugby," said Gethin Watts- Consultant, National Age Grade Programs and Talent ID. "Having competitions such as the Can-Am Sevens in Toronto and 15s in Victoria allows us to see players expressing themselves. I wish Nigel and the staff the best of luck.”

All games will be streamed on the Rugby Ontario YouTube Page
