Terry Kennedy scored as the clock wound down to give Ireland a 17-12 win over Canada in the opening match for both teams Saturday at the HSBC Los Angeles Sevens.

Kennedy beat five Canadians as he accelerated diagonally for the goal-line after a string of Canadian penalties allowed the Irish to lay siege to the Canada end.

Canada stands 10th in the overall standings while Ireland is No. 9 after four stops on the 10-event HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. The Canadians faced No. 2 South Africa and No. 11 Kenya later Saturday.The U.S. stop, which has been returned to Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., after a decade in Las Vegas, is the last event before the HSBC Canada Sevens in Vancouver on March 7-8.Theo Sauder and David Richard scored tries for Canada, which led 12-7 at the half.

Canada spent most of the first half in its own end but scored an opportunistic try that saw Sauder chip the Irish line, get a favourable bounce and run in unmolested. Richard capped off a nifty passing sequence two minutes later for Canada's second try. After Canada was penalized for offside, O'Shea broke a tackle and dove over for a try by the posts. The conversion tied it at 12-12.

The Canadians opened the season with a ninth-place performance in Dubai before finishing 10th in Cape Town, a season-best fifth in Hamilton, New Zealand, and 10th in Sydney, Australia.

Opinion: It isn’t too late to stop state-sanctioned killing in CanadaMark Penninga and John Sikkema: Every human being deserves equal protection by the law regardless of their health or feelings of self-worth Grow up. People on one side of this argument want everyone to have the right to decide for themselves re MAiD. People with the opposing point of view want to impose their opinion re MAiD on everyone else. Like most other things these “Christian” organizations want to stop, they not affected by what someone else does. If they don’t want assisted death, they don’t ask for it. Choosing to force someone else to suffer for your beliefs is what is immoral.
