New Zealand, which stands second in the overall standings after winning the last two stops on the HSBC SVNS circuit, raced to a 21-0 lead before Shalaya Valenzuela scored a late try for Canada. But that's as close as the Canadians would come in dropping a 26-5 decision.
No. 1 Australia and No. 2 New Zealand meet in one women's semifinal while the No. 4 Americans play No. 3 France in the other. Canada, featuring four Series debutantes on its roster, finished last in Pool A after losses to No. 3 Fiji , No. 4 France and No. 5 Australia . The Australian team featured Michael Hooper, who won 125 test caps including 69 as captain with the Wallabies 15s side.The high-flying Pumas, who have won three tournaments with one runner-up finish this season, came to Hong Kong with a 20-point lead in the overall standings. But they fell into the consolation bracket after losing 14-10 to the U.S.
The Canadian men have lost 17 straight games since defeating France 33-7 on Dec. 10 to finish seventh in Cape Town. They will look to end that run when they take on No. 9 Britain in the 11th-place playoff.After Hong Kong, the teams go to Singapore before wrapping up the season in Madrid from May 31 to June 2.
