Neil Meechan named as Canadian Sevens Captain


The Canadian National Senior Men's Sevens team is off to Dubai on Friday, Feb. 27 for the Rugby World Cup Sevens. On the roster of Canada's 12 top sevens players are five Vikes - one of which has just been named Captain.
Neil Meechan may not be a man of many words but he certainly leads by example. Whether it's on the international sevens circuit or back home playing in the CDI Premier Leauge, Meechan's opponents fear him and his teammates look up to him. He's a tough player known for his aggression and quickness at the breakdown.
The national side is certainly in good hands as they face off against South Africa, Scotland and Japan during their opening day of competition.
