The Canadian women's rugby sevens team secured a spot in the semifinals of the HSBC SVNS Series after a convincing 29-14 victory over Fiji in Bordeaux, France. Savannah Bauder was the standout player, scoring three tries and converting two. Canada led the match from the start, going into halftime with a 19-7 advantage. They increased their lead to 22 points before Fiji managed to score a late try through Reapi Ulunisau. Mariana Talatoka contributed another try for Fiji, but it was not enough to close the gap. Canada will now face New Zealand in the semifinals, a rematch after losing to them in the third-place match at the previous stop in Valladolid, Spain. The Canadian team finished pool play with a record of 2-1, having defeated Spain and Great Britain, while suffering a loss to the United States. This performance follows their earlier success as the 2024 Olympic silver medallists and their fourth-place finish at the Hong Kong leg in April.
