Justin Douglas scored his second try of the game with South Africa playing a man short due to a yellow card as Canada used a 26-19 victory to win the bronze medal on Sunday at the HSBC Canada Sevens Rugby tournament.

"With yellow cards you are hoping for at least one score," said Harry Jones of West Vancouver, who celebrated the win with family and friends. "It's a crazy game and you have to be switched on every millisecond or else it can go the other way."

"It's all mental at that point," said Jones. "The bodies are hurting but the crowd did it for us . . . pushed us in the final few minutes to hold on. It was amazing.""We've been on a path since last August," said coach Henry Paul. "It's going in the right direction. We're still finding out a little bit about ourselves."

With Canada threatening to tie the match in extra time Theo Sauder was tackled at the goal line. An instant replay showed the ball touched down just before crossing the line.The Canadian used a 21-0 win over Spain earlier in the day to advance to their first-even semifinal at the Vancouver tournament.

Both the Canadian men's and women's sevens teams have qualified for the Olympics but there are fears the spread of the coronavirus could delay or even postpone the Games.
