After being rested for the London Invitational tournament, Jen Kish is back to captain Canada in the final round of the 2015/16 HSBC Women’s Sevens Series at the Stade Gabriel Montpied in Clermont-Ferrand, France, this weekend. The star forward leads a side that shows only two changes to the one that took part at home in Langford last month.
Quebec duo Magali Harvey and Natasha Watcham-Roy are back in having successfully returned from injury in London. Dropping out to make room are Julia Greenshields and Kayla Mack.
With England victorious in Langford, Canada dipped just out of the top 3 and are currently on 54 points on the overall standings, just six behind England. Australia are virtually assured the Series title with 76 points, a dozen beyond that of New Zealand.
All matches in this weekend’s tournament will be streamed live by World Rugby.
