TORONTO - Flanker Nanyak Dala will captain Canada at the IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament later this month in Moscow. The Canadian men are in a pool with World Series Sevens champion New Zealand, the U.S. and Georgia. Dala, Sean Duke, Ciaran Hearn, Nathan Hirayama, Harry Jones, Phil Mack, John Moonlight and Taylor Paris have all been Canadian sevens regulars this season. They are joined by Justin Douglas, Thyssen De Goede, Lucas Hammond and Mike Fuailefau, who have also seen action. "All the selected players have been on the circuit this year and are rewarded by going to the World Cup," head coach Geraint John said in a statement Monday. "We felt this was important as they have trained hard throughout the year, know the systems and have gained great success during the year and therefore deserve to be rewarded for their efforts and success." Rugby Canada said Chauncey OToole, Jeff Hassler, Tyler Ardron and Conor Trainor will not travel due to contractual or health issues. Also considered were Phil MacKenzie (Sale Sharks) and DTH van der Merwe (Glasgow Warriors) but they were ruled out for injury reasons. Matt Evans (Cornish Pirates) was also up for selection. Hearn, Paris, Dala and Fuailefau are currently in Nagoya preparing for Canadas Pacific Nations Cup 15-man test against Japan on Wednesday. The sevens squad will assemble June 20 in Burnaby, B.C., before heading to Russia for the June 28-30 tournament. Canada secured its core status for next year on the HSBC Sevens World Series when it finished 12th on the circuit this year. The Americans placed 11th. With 12 mens and 12 womens teams competing at the Olympic Games 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, The Moscow tournament, which features 24 mens and 16 womens teams, comes three years before sevens rugby makes its Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro, with 12 teams in each competition. --- Canada Nanyak Dala (capt.), Castaway Wanderers, Saskatoon; Thyssen De Goede, James Bay AA, Victoria; Justin Douglas, Abbotsford RFC, Abbotsford, B.C.; Sean Duke, UVic Vikes, Vancouver; Mike Fuailefau, Castaway Wanderers, Victoria; Lucas Hammond, Toronto Nomads, Toronto; Ciaran Hearn, Castaway Wanders, Conception Bay, N.L.; Nathan Hirayama, UVic Vikes, Richmond, B.C.; Harry Jones, Capilano RFC, West Vancouver; Phil Mack, UVic Vikes, Victoria; John Moonlight, James Bay AA, Pickering, Ont.; Taylor Paris, SU Agen Lot-et-Garonne (France), Barrie, Ont.

Shaw, the Cardinal head coach, knows theres a limit to how many times junior Christian McCaffrey can take the ball and be effective. The latest test comes Friday night, when the No. 7 Cardinal play at No. 10 Washington (9 p.m. ET, ESPN).He cant take every single rep and be able to survive a 13-, 14-game season, Shaw said. He cant. Even at that age, in the best shape of [his] life, and a phenomenal athlete, probably one of the best-conditioned athletes in the nation. Somebody else has to take some reps.Over the course of McCaffreys record-breaking 2015 season, the running back carried, caught or returned the football 424 times. Thats 30.3 times per game, way more than any other FBS player in the nation. It worked out pretty well for him. He broke the single-season all-purpose yards record (3,250) set by Barry Sanders in 1988. McCaffrey finished with 3,864 yards.When Shaw and offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren stand on the sideline and look down at their call sheets, they seem to become every 10-year-old who ever ripped open a one-pound bag of M&Ms. How do you stop?It takes a concerted effort among the coaches, Bloomgren said. If we say, Who is the best for this [play]? It usually comes up being 5 (McCaffreys number). You have to be really careful. If we put 25 pounds on him, Id probably play him at guard. At the same time, we say it every time we watch a game. Hey, he played X number of plays. And its too many.Three games into his junior year, McCaffreys workload has ticked upward -- 32 times per game. He has 79 carries, 12 receptions, three kick returns and two punt returns for a total of 635 yards (211.7-yard average). The 91 carries and catches are 59.9 percent of Stanfords total this season. Thats 13 percentage points higher than the second-biggest ball hog in the FBS, Donnel Pumphrey of San Diego State.OK, its not fair to call McCaffrey a ball hog. He isnt calling plays. And in Shaws defense, sophomore running back Bryce Love missed the opener against Kansas State, and quarterback Ryan Burns played little before winning the starting job in August.We live in an age of specialization, with personnel groups shuttling on and off the field every down. Yet McCaffrey is as evergreen as the tree in the Stanford logo. How much is too much? What is the limit?The Stanford coaches dont think in numbers. Shaw mentioned 25 carries, give or take. He checks the halftime stats to see if McCaffrey has too many touches, or too few.The other thing thats hard? Bloomgren said. The kid doesnt want to be out of the gamee a single play.dddddddddddd If he were asking, Can I get a break? that would make it so much easier for all of us. But hes the last one that wants to take a play off.McCaffrey dismisses the pitch count, too, although he said the USC game, when he had 31 carries, three catches and a kick return, has been the toughest to recover from.Sometimes youll have 30, 40 touches in the game, and youll feel better than if you had 22, he said. It depends on where you get hit and how you get hit.McCaffrey expected his workload to increase this season. He is playing more as a slot receiver, hoping to get one-on-one with some poor linebacker unable to match his rare combination of speed and strength. Shaw stressed the difference in McCaffrey between last season and this, the physical maturation of a 19-year-old who turned 20. But theres also a big difference in his preparation.McCaffrey assesses the condition of his body with the care of an NFL veteran, spending a total of three to four hours before and after practice to prepare for and recover from the workload. Foam rollers, stretches, Pilates, one minute in the hot pool, two in the cold, and back again for 30 minutes.Last year, I was doing stuff where I didnt know if that was necessarily the best thing for me to do, McCaffrey said. This year, OK, Im having a little bit of tightness in my adductor. I know I need to get my glutes back firing. I know my body a lot better. I can pinpoint and find exactly what I need to do.The result is a fresher back. He feels better on Monday than he did last season. He accepts that he isnt going to do much physical work on Monday. He understands that Love needs the reps.Last year, we would sit him out of practice on Mondays and he would pout, Bloomgren said. Body language. Now he understands its part of the process.As Burns matures, Shaw and Bloomgren hope the quarterback will be able to take more of the responsibility for the offense. Love has proven in the past two games that he is an effective counterpunch to McCaffrey. Until that really happens, however, Shaw said, the offensive burden is going to be on the offensive line and McCaffrey.Going into a game, I know that Im going to run a lot, McCaffrey said. I know Im going to have a lot of volume, and I know that Im going to get hit a lot, which is great. Sometimes we try to deliver some blows, too, try to break as many tackles as possible. We know its going to hurt the next day. Thats why we love the game. ' ' '
