Sean White, Head Coach of Canada’s Men’s Sevens Team, will leave his role upon the conclusion of the first term of his contract in July.
Rugby Canada completed a review of the men’s sevens program at the end of the 2024-25 season, taking into account the changing landscape of sevens globally, the current priorities of the overall men’s national program, and Rugby World Cup qualification later this year. It was decided that a program change at this time would be in the best interest of qualification for the LA 2028 Olympics and redefining the team’s role within international men’s rugby.
“On behalf of Rugby Canada, I would like to thank Sean for his hard work and dedication to the men’s program and the work he did in developing our players,” said Nathan Bombrys, CEO of Rugby Canada. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
Canada’s Men’s Sevens Team will next compete on home soil at HSBC SVNS Vancouver in 2026. More information on the 2025-26 season schedule and locations will be announced when possible.
