Georgia Upsets Canadian Visitors
Phil McKenzie grits against the Lelos. The game report on this one can be read on Rugby Canada or BC Rugby News websites, where reporters viewed the contest. One always knew this would be tough for Canada despite a stronger Canadian forward selection. Georgia has six of its starting...
Bring On Georgia
Ardron in action! We predict his return to the #8 position will reap reward. Rugby Canada has announced the NSMT to play Georgia tomorrow. The team is; 1- Hubert Buydens, (Saskatoon Wild Oats/Manawatu Turbos) Saskatoon, SK 2- Ray Barkwill, (Niagara Wasps RFC/Ontario Blues) Niagara Falls,...
.........And Learn, They Did!
You may have read it on this site a few days ago that much would be learned from the Women's game #1 loss to France. Clairvoyant, it was - quickly assimilated and acted upon. We dip our lids to the NSWT that defeated France 11 - 6 yesterday. Under inclement skies, the ladies scored the...
Also, On Saturday
Let’s rewind to Saturday's 'Big Picture'. The NSWT lost a close one to France, ranked fourth place in XV’s standings and host of the RWC later this year. Canada, ranked sixth, got off to a slow start and reading between the lines on match reports, it was a game they still thought they could...

Where Did It Go??
Looking for the game? We were too! The Canada Vs N.Z. Maori match will be aired live on Ch #5 and #225 (HD), TOMORROW at 10:00 a.m. Rugby Canada has used its perogative of NOT announcing the lineup until tomorrow as this is not a certified "International Test"! One wonders what difference...
Young Guns Lead The Way
A feast of rugby takes place tomorrow. It all starts at 10:00 a.m. PST when Canada plays NZ Maori in Toronto. Unfortunately, at this late stage, we are still unable to procure a starting XV for the Maple Leafs but we know for sure there will be some Tricolor connections involved. We wish...
Overseas Update
Former Tricolor, 'Jab' Sinclair tastes the nectar of victory! It’s been a dream start to their Ospreys careers for Jeff Hassler and Tyler Ardron. Both signed in the offseason to provide depth at the Welsh region and both have more than achieved that goal only weeks into the season....
