Canada showed grit and resolve against Fiji, coming back from 19-12 down early in the second-half.
In the second-half, Canada had more of the ball and made it count, with Pam Buisa and Scurfield carrying strongly down the right side of the field.
The Kiwis were not short of fluency in attack, despite the Langford tournament being their first appearance in the five 2022 HSBC Women’s Seven’s tour games thus far.
The fifth-place finish is Canada’s best of the 2022 season so far, with one leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series left in Toulouse.
