This December Nomads Lucas Hammond and Kelly Russell are heading over to Dubai to represent Canada on the international stage.
Hammond is playing for Canada’s Men’s Sevens Team, which is currently training to compete in the next leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series in Dubai.
Russell, meanwhile, is heading east to don the red-and-white at Dubai Sevens, the first leg in this season’s Women’s Sevens World Series.
