After some bad breaks, the Canadians lost their way a bit according to coach Liam Middleton. That means a June trip to Cary, N.C., for a regional qualifier and a showdown with the U.S. for the one Olympic sevens berth up for grabs in North America and the Caribbean. The Americans finished fourth at the tournament while Canada, third in Sin City last season, tied for seventh. But I come away from that game thinking again those are things that we can improve on. The game against the U.S.A. obviously holds enormous weight, because everyone knows what coming up, everyone knows there an Olympic qualifier – it us versus them, Middleton said.
