Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
'twas the night before Christmas. What a present for Ken and Lauren Goodland, baby boy, Cian! Heard tell, a good-sized little bloke to add to the Tricolor Nursery. Thanks to those who stepped up to ring the chimes last Sunday. A kettle amount of just shy of $600 was raised on The...

'Twas the week before Christmas......
Schnell & Riordan on the attack! Anna Schnell, coach of CW’s Girls program was an elite player on an elite Burnaby Lake Rugby Club squad in her playing days. In her six seasons (2004-2010), Schnell was a dominating force as Burnaby Lake won three provincial championships. She also led B.C. to...
A Decade of Dining With Guido
From all those present, a reciprocal 'THANK YOU' to Guido and Knaggsy. Guido always reminds us at this time of year to be thankful and in kind, he throws an opportunity for seasonal fellowship at The Temple. 'onya, Guido - another hit!...
Chalking 'Em Up!
A tip of The Ruggernut's cap to Sean Duke. Dukey surpassed his team mate, John Moonlight's try tally in Dubai last week. Duke, at 26 promises to be around for a while yet to add to that total. 109 tries is a formidable total and ranks highly amongst the list of all-time try scorers on the...

Tip o’ the Tricolor Cap TO VELOX U16 BOYS, ISLAND CHAMPS. This was a tale of two halves yesterday at Windsor. Velox came out very committed and were worthy leaders, 21 – 0 at the half, only allowing the hosts out of their own territory on three occasions! Done and dusted? Far from it. The...
Under 16's Vs Velox, VIRU Final
CW's U 16's play Velox for the Island title tomorrow at Windsor at 12:30 p.m. The winner will also be deemed as the third place finisher in the B.C. "League". Good luck to Kratzie and his boys. On a rugby-starved weekend, this would be a good watch...see you there. The...
Unsung Hero - On the Field
Recently, one of Tye Haight’s team mates came to The Ruggernut and suggested he deserved recognition. We got to thinking about Tye and agreed with the suggestion. Tye is in his fourth season with CW but exemplifies those characteristics of a great club guy. Two seasons back he was voted Thurds...
Monday's Musings
Barnard Cup Congratulations to UVic on a fairly comprehensive victory in last Saturday’s Barnard Cup, 35 – 17. Although the tries scored were relatively close, 4 – 3, the margin was clearly in favour of the students. The hosts led 17 – 5 at the half when it was virtually done and dusted....

CDI Crunches At the Top After last weekend, the CDI Premiership delineated clearly between the top five and the bottom three with The Birds leading the way. Most unfortunately, for the Tricolours after their visit to Jericho on Saturday and subsequent 17 – 18 loss, they find themselves ten...

Canada Vs Samoa
Canada takes on #11 Samoa tomorrow 9:00 PST and can be viewed at; www.irb.com. Coach Crowley has made a whack of changes, probably all for the better but yet another jig-saw to try to find some answers. The Islanders will be hot under the collar after losing to Italy last weekend and this will...

Monday's Musings
CW’s Dylan ‘Diesel’ Jones could use all of our positive vibes as he undergoes a huge battle, having been recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Dylan, a highly respected player on and off the field by mates or foes has started treatments and will no doubt face this foe as aggressively as...
Rowers Enter The W Column @ CW's Expense
It was day of mixed results at Windsor. All in attendance hoped that the table had been laid with a highly motivational and inspirational victory by The Ones. The locals led early and it lasted for a long time, in fact until the last five minutes of the half when the dam burst and Rowers scored...
CW Hosts Rowers
Patrons, note change in kick off times for tomorrow...Ones, 12:45 P.M.; Prems, 2:30 p.m. The Ones face a team that has a couple of wins on the board and we predict it is a time for an upset. The Ones will field a sharp backline and will test the visitors. In the Premiership contest, both teams...

Unsung Hero - Off The Field It has been some time since we did an “in depth” of an on field/off field, CW personality. Lee Lindwall, a modest man, insisted we not use the term “Hero” but it is a fitting term for those we recognize as club heroes for so unflinchingly giving of their time...

Monday's Musings - Ups & Downs of a Rugby Weekdend
A rainy Sunday saw a full slate of junior games at Windsor. Minis were on deck in full flight, despite being “clocks back”, followed by U14’s playing an inter-club match against Velox. An interesting observation regarding numbers is the fact that attrition seems to occur, mostly between minis...
CAPTAIN CANADA
CW congratulates Hubert Bydens who has been chosen to Captain the NSMT’s Fall Tour. The team opens on Sunday at Worcester when they play a “Championship XV” – a combination from teams that play in the IPA Championship. It will be a good benchmark for that to follow, against Namibia, Samoa...
