Late Argentina rally sinks Canada 24-19 at Sydney Sevens
Canada’s men fell victim to a furious Argentina comeback on Friday, conceding three late tries to lose 24-19 at the HSBC Sydney Sevens.
Trailing Canada 19-5 with under three minutes to play, Argentina appeared to have scored when speedster Marcos Moneta crashed over in the corner. But Josiah Morra caught the 2021 World Rugby’s Sevens Mens Player of the Year as he crossed the try-line and, with help from captain Phil Berna, prevented him from grounding the ball.
Argentina won the restart again and laid siege on the Canadian try-line after a slashing run by Luciano Gonzalez. The ball went wide to Moneta for the converted try that completed the comeback with time expired. Canada started the Argentina game with good field position thanks to a contentious call that the Argentina kickoff didn’t go the required 10 metres. Argentina was penalized after the ensuing scrum and Berna capped the Canadian attack by touching down under the posts.
