On the opening day of the 2024, Series Play-off at Twickenham Stadium in London, Canada's Men's Sevens Team faced two opponents they had previously faced in Toulouse and came away with a victory and a defeat. In the third minute of the match against Kenya, Alex Russell scored the first of his two tries to get things going. Thereafter, a back-and-forth game ensued. 

With a victory over the Uruguay RWC team, Canada made a sensational comeback

With alternate tries from Kenya and Canada. Following a second try from Russell and a successful conversion from Thomas Isherwood (who now has 150 career World Rugby Sevens Series points), two tries from Kenya's Kevin Wekesa, and a second try from Russell, Kenya lead 14-12 at the break.

In minute nine, Max Stewart scored his fifth try of the game, which Isherwood added a conversion to give Canada the lead. Wekesa, though, was on a roll and tied the match with his third attempt. Kenya's hero was Edmund Anya, who scored in the closing second of play to give Kenya a 24-19 victory.

The second game between Canada and Uruguay was a must-win. In the fourth minute, with the Uruguay RWC team leading 7-0, Isherwood launched an assault and came close to scoring, but the ball was held up and the try was disallowed. However, only a few seconds later, Brock Webster received a pass from Matt Oworu and found a gap in Uruguay's defence at the halfway point, scoring (which Stewart converted) to help level the game.

By scoring one more try, the Uruguay RWC team increased their lead to 14-7 at the half then to 21-7 in the ninth minute. However, the last three minutes belonged to Canada and Webster, who participated in all of the team's attempts and ultimately scored 14 points.

Canada's second try (converted by Webster) came as a result of an offload from Webster to Jack Carson. Shortly after, Oworu's pass to Webster put Canada on the board once more, and Webster converted his try to give Canada a 21-19 lead in the last seconds.

On Sunday, May 21, at 3:57 a.m. PT / 6:57 a.m. ET, the Canadian Men's Sevens Team will face Tonga to finish round-robin play. The play-off final, which will include the top two teams, is planned for 8:56 a.m. PT / 11:56 a.m. ET.

Canada's Rugby World Cup team wins late to maintain World Series aspirations.

At the HSBC London 7s on Saturday, Brock Webster's late try and conversion propelled Canada to a thrilling 21-19 victory over Uruguay, maintaining the Canadian men's chances of avoiding elimination from the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. Owing to a last-second Edmund Anya attempt, Kenya was defeated heartbreakingly, 24–19.

In the four-team relegation playoff that is a part of the 11th and final stop on the men's circuit this season, Canada required a win versus the Uruguay RWC team to stay in the game. As it prepares to face Uruguay (1-1-0, four points) in the round-robin's last match on Sunday, Kenya (2-0-0, six points) is in the lead. Before its last match against Tonga (0-2-0, two), Canada (1-1-0, four points) trails the South Americans in terms of points differential.

To determine who will remain a core member of the World Series for the upcoming season, the top two teams following round-robin play will square off. Canada advances to the playoff final with a victory against Tonga. If the Uruguay RWC team loses, the Canadians may also win and move on with a draw.

Uruguay's RWC 2023 squad,

Although Canada had an advantage against Tonga in their head-to-head matches (9-6-0), Tonga defeated Canada 35-14 in Sydney in January of this year. The World Series reduced the number of men's teams from 16 to 12 to correspond with the women's tournament and the Olympic field, which led to the creation of the relegation playoff.

World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series

Following the competition in Toulouse, France, over the past weekend, Japan, the 15th-place team in the rankings, was demoted. The round-robin relegation playoff was then between No. 12 Uruguay RWC team, No. 13 Kenya, No. 14 Canada, and Tonga, who had won the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series.

The victor of the playoffs will join the World Series as its 12th core team in 2024, while the other three teams must compete in their respective regional sevens championships to earn a spot in the Challenger Series and return to the top-tier competition.

In the 12-team competition outside of the relegation playoff, Japan is competing in London as an invited side. It would be disastrous for the Canadian programme to lose the World Series. It would be devastating to leave the highest flight of the sport at a time when Rugby Canada has made it easier for players to switch between the sevens and the 15s game.

Not to mention significantly raising the barrier to Olympic qualification. The high stakes were clear from the first kickoff against Kenya on Saturday as Canada played with purpose and at a quick pace. Since 2012–2013, Canada has been a staple squad on the circuit.

Three times, only to see the Kenyans retake the advantage. Anya scored the game-winning touchdown late after Kenyan speedster Kevin Wekesa's third attempt of the contest knotted the score at 19-19. The next restart gave Canada one more opportunity with the game in overtime.

Kenya responded with two Wekesa tries, which were the result of his strength and quickness. The first was a quick solo effort down the flank in which the strong Kenyan avoided being tackled by two opponents. Two Isherwood conversions helped Canada lead 14-12 at the half.

Uruguay RWC team faced two opponents they had previously faced in Toulouse

Up until the last seconds of the second half, the Canadian defence remained resilient.

Kenya's record this year versus Canada is 5-3-0. Damian McGrath, who was in command of Canada in 2017 when it recorded its lone World Series tournament victory, defeating the United States 26-19 in the final at Singapore, is the Kenyan team's captain. In Uruguay RWC team's opening goal in Canada's second match on Saturday, Ignacio Facciolo crossed the goal line following a Stewart handling mistake and penalty.

Isherwood, the Canadian player with the mullet, appeared to have scored a try in retaliation, but Mateo Vinal's try-saving tackle at the line prevented him from doing so. Shortly after, Webster made no errors as he sliced past the Uruguayan defence to square the game at 7-7.

But with a few seconds left in the half, Felipe Arcos Perez outran the Canadian tacklers to give Uruguay the lead, 14-7. Early in the second half, Bautista Basso scored from the corner to extend Uruguay's advantage to 19-7. After Webster broke the line, Jack Carson scored for Canada beneath the posts to cut the deficit to 19-14 with Webster's conversion.

After a strong run by Matt Oworu, Webster scored and added the conversion to give Canada a 21-19 lead with his 21st try in the World Series game. Less than a minute remained for the Uruguay RWC team to attempt a comeback, but it was unsuccessful due to a penalty.

Baltazar Amaya managed to plant the ball against a valiant Tongan tackle onslaught to score the game-winning try in the corner during extra time as the Uruguay RWC team fought to defeat Tonga 15-12 earlier.

Kenya defeated Tonga 38–26 courtesy of another hat trick from Wekesa.

With London serving as their 190th competition on the circuit, the Canadian men made their World Series debut in 1999-2000. They also had a successful trip at Twickenham after achieving a season-best fourth place in Toulouse. The Canadians' previous best finish this season was tenth place in the inaugural competition in Hong Kong.

They then finished 11th, 14th (five times), tied for 15th (twice), and had an overall record of 18-39 when they arrived in London. Following a widespread departure after the Tokyo Olympics, the Canadian men have been rebuilding. Additionally, this season got off to a rocky start as coach Henry Paul announced his resignation in late November following the first game. White, a former Canadian international in the sevens and fifteens, took charge.

The Canadians have now defeated Uruguay in all 11 encounters, including a 26-0 triumph in Toulouse. However, Uruguay's first year as a main club in the World Series had notable highlights, including twice making it to the Cup quarterfinals. With a slim one-point lead over Spain, the Uruguay RWC team entered Toulouse in 11th place. However, the Spaniards came out of France with a point advantage over the South Americans, allowing them to avoid the relegation playoff.

In minute nine, Max Stewart scored his fifth try of the game

Even though New Zealand has already won the World Series and Nos. 2 Argentina and 4 Fiji have joined the All Blacks in earning spots in the 2024 Paris Olympics by assuring themselves a top-four finish on the season, there is still unfinished work in London.

The race for the final automatic Olympic slot will be decided on Sunday by either No. 5 Australia (125 points) or No. 6 Samoa (116 points), with Olympic host France now in third position. Seventh-ranked South Africa (116) lost out after failing to advance to the cup quarterfinals.

The Canadian ladies finished ninth overall when the seven-stop women's season came to a close last week in Toulouse. In August, the Rugby Americas North Sevens Olympic qualification will be held in Langford, British Columbia, and will include both Canadian teams.
