The Canadians took the field with the minimum of knowledge not only of Sevens but of Rugby in general, but proved to be eastly the most popular team of the night. Though they may only have played Amertean foot- ball before, they picked up the idea fairly well, and their fitness keeness had Wayfoong shaking in their shoes.
