TRINIDAD AND Tobago topped Group “C” on Saturday, as the 2012 North America and Caribbean (NACRA) Rugby Sevens Championships opened in Ottawa, Canada.

These Championships are also the Americas qualifier for the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow, Russia.

Trinidad and Tobago, under the captaincy of Kurt Quashie, lost 10-0 to Guyana but rebounded with a pair of victories — 24-21 against Cayman Islands and 17-0 over Barbados.

According to TT coach Larry Mendez, “I am proud of the guys. They stuck together, kept their composure and fought hard.”

On Sunday, TT were due to face Jamaica in the quarter-final phase.
