Phil Mack and Nathan Hirayama scored tries to lead Canada past Tonga 12-10 in its opening match of the Hong Kong Sevens rugby event Friday.
Canada built a 12-5 lead on the tries from Mack and Hirayama but Tonga made it interesting late in the game on a try Atela Otaki. But the conversion was wide.
“All week we concentrated on defensive patterns and I think in the end that is what really paid off, ” said Mack, the Canadian team captain.
