Pools for Canada Sevens
The pools for the Canada Sevens were drawn ahead of the Cup final at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, with Cup winners Fiji heading Pool A in Vancouver thanks to a 21-15 win over Australia.
Ben Ryan's series leading Fiji will face Kenya, Samoa and Portugal in Pool A while Australia, runners-up for a second successive tournament, meet Wales, Russia and hosts Canada in Pool B.
South Africa, Argentina, Scotland and the invited team Brazil will compete in Pool C, while this week's hosts USA await New Zealand, France and England in what looks to be the toughest of the four pools
"It's a great city, a great stadium," said Canada coach Liam Middleton. "There's really passionate supporters, they really get behind the game, yes Canada but rugby as well and I think it will be a really special tournament.
"We want to embrace the moment as hosts, but it's what we do on the field that is most important. We feel privileged as a team, as a rugby community, and I believe we will deliver an outstanding tournament."
