Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Another High Achievement for Women. Canada’s U20 Women won a second, high profile silver medal yesterday when they finished runner-up to Australia at the Youth Olympics at Nanjing, China. Perhaps the journey was more important than the destination. In Pool play, Canada lost to China, 24 –...
Not Enough Superlatives!
Well, Canada's dream run is over. Fair go for the English - runners-up three times and today their defence was simply impregnable and Scarrat showed her class, as it should have been. This pundit cannot offer sufficient superlatives for the effort throughout this campaign and especially,...

Oh, Canada!
By now, any readers of this site would have seen/ heard about the Women's monumental, semi-final victory yesterday over France, 18 - 16. One cannot offer enough superlatives for this monumental milestone for Canadian Rugby, specifically, for Canadian Women’s Rugby. Their self-belief,...
Bouquets, You Beauties!
If you were not a fan of the women’s game before this morning’s Canada Vs England, 13 – 13 tie, you most certainly would have changed your tune by game’s end. It was a classic battle between two fairly equal teams, with play ebbing and flowing from end to end. On the day, Canada was unlucky not...
Woe is Us - Women Play Tomorrow!
We bring you this video clip as an apology for getting our date wrong! Tricolor fans were up early this morning to watch the key game and as you no doubt discovered - our bad, wrong day! That's the way it goes sometimes although word from Coach Duke's mouth - "We are ready"! So it will...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Canada Women Go 2 – 0 @ RWC, Paris. Canada Women scored six tries (through the backs) and 21 points in each half to decimate Samoa yesterday. The point’s differential was big however they still need to beat or tie England on Friday to get into the Championship side of the affair. Brittany...
NSWT Announce Major Changes For Samoa
This review of the women's opener against Spain shows some classic stuff! Just loved Harvey's convert of her own first tally from the side line - skills some local "kickers" would envy. The game report you read here asked some questions of the performance and speculated that the...
Canadian Women Hurdle Spain In Opener
After a shaky start, the women got untracked, led by a hat trick of first half tallies from speedy, Magoli Harvey. The interval score had Canada up 24 - 0, with the promise of more to come. After what must have been a "perplexing" second forty, the final score read 31 - 7, a 7 - 7 second...
A Plethora Of Points
Canada won the Bowl at the Commonwealth Games yesterday in Glasgow. South Africa upset N.Z. for the gold and Geriant John's Aussies took the bronze. There were nine "core" teams in this contest and unluckily for the boys, they finished ninth when they failed to qualify for championship play...
Bouquets & Brickbats - Saturday's Travesty
Almost 19,000 fans flocked to BMO Field to see if Canada’s NSMT could front up and dispel the doubts that crept in during the second stanza against Japan last week. During the week, the IRB had adjusted the global standings and Canada found itself sliding one place to Georgia. Short...
Canadian Women Push Kiwis
The Canadian ladies managed to get intriguingly close to the Silver Ferns in their "exhibition" match, two day's back. The Kiwi women, like their male counterparts are almost "unbeatable", particularly, one would think in their home stable. The 8 - 16 scoreline is close and must be...
How About This, Sportsfans?
There has been plenty of ink for our NSMT this week but how about our ladies? Canadian Women's soccer and rugby are all the rage as both groups catapault towards upcoming World Cups. In preparation for same, Canada's NSWT is currently in N.Z. and overnight "bagelled" Australia, 22 - 0. Led by...
Wednesday's, "Ruck & Maul".
Excitement abounds as we welcome the Cherry Blossoms and their record of seven wins on the trot. Coached by noted Aussie, Eddie Jones and assisted by Leigh Jones, the Japanese side features a much more confident group of players than ever before with players who can call New Zealand,...
A Saturday Without Rugby!
After a close loss to England in Pool play, 5 - 10, Canada Women came back on Day #2 at Amsterdam to defeat U.S.A., 28 - 19 but lost out to Australia, 0 - 17 in the Cup Semi. In a close battle for third place, Canada nipped "The Chooms", 10 - 0. This result places Canada in third place overall...

One More Step - Albeit, A Shaky One!
KEENAN HORTON CROSSES FOR #11 & RUNNER UP FOR TALLY TOPPER This week, we revert to an excellent report from the B.C.R.U. communications man, Andrew Smith, who saw the match. Unfortunately, (maybe, fortunately, for CW players, the club was unable to have a scribe at this one.) Watching...

Women Show The Way!
They've done it again! Kudos to Canada's Womens Sevens team on their victory in Hong Kong. The ladies defeated the Hosts, 19 - 5; Kazakhstan, 33-0; Japan, 38 - 0; and France, in the Final, 24 -0. Now that's an impressive record. Bouquets all round. (Ed. - We love Rick Bourne's...

We loved this article noted on RC's website and because we know you read CW FIRST, have reprinted it here. Not only does it profile a special player, Maria Samson, it gives a great update on the Womens program and status. You go, Girls! Playing rugby at the international level is not a...
