  • Canadas National Senior Womens Sevens Team has embarked on a very important two tournament tour of London and Amsterdam. Cheap Jerseys . First up, Coach John Tait and his team are settling in at the IRB London Sevens, in England, which also serves as the final leg of the IRB Womens Challenge Cup series. After claiming the first leg of the Challenge Cup in Dubai, in December 2011, Canadas women were defeated by England in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong tournament. Now, having travelled to Twickenham Stadium, the home of English rugby, the Canadians will attempt to re-claim their place atop of the world of Sevens rugby, on Englands home ground. Coach Tait has selected a squad of 14 players to travel and compete at the London Sevens on May 12-13 and shortly after in the Amsterdam Sevens from May 19-20. "The selection process has actually become more difficult," said Tait. "There are girls that havent been regulars in other competitions, that have been pushing really hard from the development squad. Having these extra matches, this will be a good opportunity to give some of the younger girls more opportunity to play in this tournament." Canadas management is pleased with the addition of the London Sevens tournament to this years schedule, as the women will be the playing at least six matches in London. As the 2013 World Cup of Sevens draws closer, Canada will need every opportunity to sharpen its cutting edge. "We are looking forward to having the opportunity to play additional games. Having 12 teams in this tournament is going to give us the opportunity for at least five to six games. At this stage for us, the most important thing is getting more and more game experience under our belt," explains Tait. When the dust clears from London, Canadas women will still have the opportunity to repeat as champions of the annual womens rugby showcase, in Holland. The squad is filled with many familiar faces, as eight of the women have played on every stop so far on the circuit. These "veterans" include the likes of Magali Harvey, Jen Kish, and Ghislaine Landry. All the women who competed at Hong Kong will be returning minus Andrea Burk, who is out with an injury. The squad departed on May 8 from Langford, B.C., where they have been training together since January and are now in their final preparations, near London.
