Rugby sevens tournament
The 2022 Canada Sevens was a rugby sevens tournament for men's national teams held on 16–17 April 2022 at BC Place, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada as part of the 2021–22 World Rugby Sevens Series.
The event was won by Argentina, with player of the match Marcos Moneta scoring two tries in their 29–10 win against Fiji in the final.[1]
Australia defeated Samoa with a last-minute try in their 21-19 win to take bronze in the third-place playoff.[1] South Africa, the defending Canada Sevens champions from the two events in 2021,[2][3] beat the 2020 event winners New Zealand in the fifth-place playoff.
The sixteen teams were drawn into four pools of four. Each team played the three opponents in their pool once. The top two teams from each pool advanced to the Cup bracket, with the losers of the quarter-finals vying for a fifth-place finish. The remaining eight teams that finished third or fourth in their pool played off for 9th place, with the losers of the 9th-place quarter-finals competing for 13th place.
