Coach John Tait faces tough choices in deciding Canada’s Olympic rugby 7s roster
TORONTO — After a season marked by injury, Canadian women’s rugby sevens coach John Tait has seen his trainers’ room empty just in time for the Rio Olympics.
That has creates both depth and competition for places. It could also lead to controversy in some quarters when his Olympic roster is announced Friday in Victoria.
For long chunks of the season, a group of players who dubbed themselves the walking wounded spent their days in the gym or at rehab.
Elissa Alarie, Natasha Watcham-Roy and Magali Harvey returned in mid-May from injury layoffs.
