The final game didn’t end the way they wanted, but the Canadian women’s rugby team still managed its best result of the season Sunday at the HSBC Canada Sevens tournament. The women erased a 10-point deficit to tie the match but then gave up a late try to lose 22-17 to Fiji. The loss left Canada in sixth place. The women’s previous best was eighth place in Cape Town, South Africa. “There’s a lot of good things to take away from this,” said Keyara Wardley of Vulcan, Alta., whose try in the 12th minute had the Canadian fans on their feet screaming. Head coach Jack Hanratty said a couple of mistakes cost his team the win. “We had the momentum,...
