Sandro Fiorino has been named interim head coach of the Canadian women's rugby team for its November tour to England. England, runner-up to New Zealand in this summer's Women's World Cup in Ireland, is ranked second in the world. The head coaching job became open when Francois Ratier left to become head coach of Rugby Canada's national fifteens academy. Fiorino has been assistant coach of Canada's women's sevens team since 2011, helping head coach John Tait and the team win bronze medal at the Rio Olympics. Rugby Canada says it will review the entire women's program after the England tour and decide on a full-time coach.
