Canada Men Win The Shield And The Women Place Third In Tokyo 7's Rugby Tournament
======================
Tokyo Sevens: Official day two men's highlights - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThGfvUuWwVg
On Day 2 of the Tokyo Sevens Canada beat Spain 39-0 and then went on to win the Shield by defeating Japan 27-14. Although earning 3 points they slipped from #9 to #11 in the HSBC Sevens World Sevens with a total of 54 points.
Number 2 ranked South Africa (which Canada actually defeated in the earlier played New Zealand Sevens) beat the HSBC Sevens World series leading New Zealand 24-19 to win the Cup Final.
That is the beauty and excitement of 7's rugby - anyone can beat most any other team on any given day. That is one reason that this genre of the game is truly emerging into a global sport.
In the women's division Canada defeated Brazil 33-0 , then lost to England 19-5 but then went on to defeat USA 19-5 to place third in the tournament
