'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...
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...

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...
Monday's Musings
Plenty of weekend rugby, although not a whole lot to crow about from a Tricolor viewpoint. Saturday started with The Ones getting hammered by The Norsemen, 76 – 12, confirming an earlier expressed pov about just how challenging it will be this season for many club sides playing the...

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...
