SEEN AT THE SEVENS CWRFC's VP, Erin and daughter, Emily. The weekend saw another Vancouver 7’s Event.  For an event that Rugby Canada relies heavily upon as a revenue source, the attendance must have been very disappointing.  Whatever the reason, crowds would have been 50 %, as...

HOT POTATO - THE HIGH TACKLE Today’s opinion piece is related to the high tackle.  The Laws of the game define a tackle as: “the method of holding a ball carrier and bringing that player to the ground”.  The business of getting to the ground is the real issue.  There has been much...

Trifecta of Losses

Trifecta of Losses

For the second week in a row, Saturday was not kind to CW!  Our Women dropped a Divvies’ decision, 10 – 56 to UBC and the Prems were paddled, 21 – 67.  Based on these results, 12th of February seems like a long while ago.  This was the date of a 53 – 17 CW victory over the same Thunderbird...


On The Road Again

On The Road Again

No Home games this weekend.  Premier and Divvies Women do battle at UBC, with the Premier result being crucial as the regular season winds down.  UBC trail The Tricolour by  a mere point.  As evidenced last week at Caps, the outcome likely depends on the strength of the travelling team.   On...
