The Spanish rugby 7 team has been fourteenth in the Vancouver tournament (Canada), sixth stage of the World Seriesat the end of a Sunday day in which he has won a game, against Kenya (24-7), and has lost against Wales (14-19) and the United States (24-33).
Wales, which is rushing its options to remain in the circuit, was the first rival on Sunday for Spain and surprised some inaccurate ‘Lions’ with the ball in a lousy first half in which he conceded two trials through Morgan Sieniawski and Iwan Pyrs-Jones, the latter in a counterattack with the clock at zero.
After the break, Pablo Feijóo’s players reacted to lock the British in their zone of twenty-two and take the lead with half a minute to go thanks to two identical marks, after a penalty kick kick, supported by Pol Pla and Manu Moreno, both converted (14-12).
Victory was guaranteed on condition of securing the last possession but Wales took the kick-off well and mounted an attack down the right that ended with the decisive mark of Morgan Williams (14-19) after an error in the tackle by Juan Martínez.
In the match to avoid the last two placesSpain showed character to prevail over Kenyaan opponent whose physical density bothers the ‘Lions’ who, on this occasion, defended very aggressively and opened the scoring after three minutes thanks to Juan Martínez.
Kevin Wekesa quickly replied with a sixty meter cart but it was the only dangerous attack by Africanssubdued by a double by Juan Pedro Ramos before the break and by a new essay by Martínez, very timely in a support for Jerry Davoibaravi midway through the second half (24-7).
The national team closed the Canadian stage with a colorful match for thirteenth place against the United States which had a balanced first half in which two tries per side were scored, with Spain pulling the score thanks to Moreno and Davoibaravi and the Americans replying through Lucas Lacamp and Ben Broselle (14-14).
Juan Martínez put the ‘Leones’ ahead again fifteen seconds into the second period but that was as far as the forces went in the twelfth game of the tour and The United States capitalized on the fatigue with essays by Dontae Noble, Malacchi Esdale and Marcus Tupuola that made Nico Nieto’s last score useless (24-33).
