Sarnia’s Julia Greenshields scored big when Canada finished second overall at the World Rugby Sevens Series in Dubai recently.

Although New Zealand beat Canada 26-14 in the final, the former Sarnia Saints star scored once in the losing effort.

Greenshields was instrumental in helping Canada finish 5-1 at the tournament, scoring four tries in all.

The second-place finish in Dubai gave Canada back-to-back podium appearances to start off the 2019 Sevens Series, and gave the team significant points towards qualification for the 2020 Olympics.
