CW Crosstown Vs UVic., etc.
Late-breaking because we have been holding out for lineups but it seems, "no-can-do", as an early season void has forced late selections. We can tell you that the 1:00 p.m. match CW Ones Vs Norse has been rescheduled. So it's just the "main game" Vikes hosting The Tricolors @ 2:45 @...

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!

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...

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...
Things According To Hoyle, So Far In Glasgow
Canada's Sevens entourage opened up with a lop-sided loss to the Kiwis, 0 - 39 in Glasgow this morning. Game #2 saw them take revenge on the hapless Barbadians, 68 - 5 and pictured here, the lads rest up for their final match against Scotland which is shaping up to be epic. The...
Commonwealth Games
(We bring you this article, courtesy of Rugby Canada website, for those of you who go to cwrugby.com first - and we thank you. It appears that the Scots have brought in some heavy artillery for the Sevens team. Scotland is already flexing its muscle in the medal count, although this pundit...

Down Comes To Town
Down H.S. have hit the North American continent, playing N.W. Loggers. The 2ND XV won their game although the 1ST XV lost a close one by a score of 15 - 12. The Loggers fielded a team of U19's, so it is expected that tomorrow's game against the Tide U18's will be a dandy. See you at the Park...

Canada Collapses
MoM, Jones, feeds DTH..... Predicted here was the fact that the Eagles could be expected to show greater cohesiveness – prediction correct. It was a match that was entertaining enough but errors aplenty abounded. The Eagles could have been taken but if this was Canada’s best effort...
Saturday in Sacremento
Saturday promises to be a barn-burner when the Eagles play The Maple Leafs. Perhaps a form line can be taken from recent scores vs the same opposition. Let's look at this. The Eagles lost to the Scots, 6 - 24 but pulled up their socks last week, narrowly losing to Japan 29 - 37, an eight...
