Rugby: Trainor and Duke power national team

Two Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­high school graduates compete for Canada's men's sevens team.

Despite fears high school rugby is on the decline in Vancouver, the national men's sevens team is powered by two Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­graduates.

Conor Trainor, a 24-year-old St. George’s alum, competes on the high-powered international side with Sean Duke, 25, a graduate of Prince of Wales.

Both were in fine form in the seventh stage of the rugby sevens series in Hong Kong from March 28 to 30 although Canada dropped back-to-back defeats to Australia and then Wales to bow out at the quarterfinal stage and move to seventh on the world series standings.

Rugby sevens, played with seven a side instead of 15, will debut as an Olympic sport at Rio 2016.
