Two Canadians named to match officials panel for Paris Olympics rugby sevens

Canadians Moe Chaudhry and Maggie Cogger-Orr are among 23 match officials selected to work the rugby sevens competition at this summer's Paris Olympics.

When not officiating, he is a Chick-fil-A franchisee. A former Tim Hortons franchisee, he also spent time as athletic director at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Markham, Ont. A year later, in 2014, she moved to New Zealand for school and rugby. Now a teacher, she has made Auckland home. Japan's Ano Kuwai will make history as the first person to both play and referee at the games, having represented Japan in Rio in 2016 when rugby sevens made its Olympic debut. Kuwai scored Japan’s first-ever Olympic try in a 26-10 loss to host Brazil.
