After posting some impressive results last season on the rugby sevens circuit, Canada looks to add consistency to its arsenal in 2013-14. The Canadian men open the new season on Saturday at the Gold Coast Sevens in Australia, the first of nine stops on the HSBC Sevens World Series. Canada finished 12th overall in 2012-13, securing its status as one of the competitions core teams. Highlights included Dubai (sixth), the U.S. (fifth) and Hong Kong (sixth). But there were poor showings in Japan and South Africa where Canada ended up in Shield play, the bottom consolation rung. "If we want to be regarded as a top team and try and break into that top-10 barrier, which I think were very capable of, we just need to be a little bit more consistent," head coach Geraint John said Thursday. "That will be our goal this year. "When we play well, we are one of the most difficult sides to beat and we perform very well . . . We need to get that consistency are each tournament. That will make us not just a good team but a very good team," he added. Canada opens Saturday against powerful Fiji before playing Wales and Portugal to determine whom it plays Sunday.

Connor Braid, who saw time in England with Doncaster last season, and Sean Ferguson, on the sevens team in 2011-12, are also on the roster. Canada starts the season with a big ask, given its 2-33 career record against Fiji. Fiji, defending champions in Australia, finished third overall on the circuit last season. But Canada can point to a 28-19 win over Fiji in the Bowl final in New Zealand in February. The Canadians are 7-20 against Wales and 12-8 against Portugal.
