The Canadian squad went 3-1 in round robin play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They earned victories of 21-7 over Wales; fell 33-0 to Australia; narrowly defeated Fiji 19-17; and blanked the hosts Trinidad & Tobago 59-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semi-final, the Canucks were tough defensively in a 17-0 win over Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That win sent them to the final and a rematch with Australia. The Aussies earned the 50-0 win for gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
