SACRIFICE
“They went with songs to battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the...

CW's cloud bursts in Cowichan. The ball proves elusive in inclement weather and against a fired-up opposition. Today's notes come from our Sage on the sideline. Action started with a victory for Cowichan women's Div. 2 team over CW, 45 - 15. Coaches report that despite a sizeable...
“NO DOUBT”!
(Photo, Rugby Canada.) Captain Tessier puts her side in front in the second half of last week’s match vs #1 England. There was “no doubt” about this try. “Doubt” is the word for today’s diatribe. A definition of the word runs the gamut from hesitation to indecision, to uncertainty. I...

Men Face a One-Man Wrecking Crew!
How could it be any different when you kick your restarts directly, 5/7 times, giving time to spare for a player to be just that? However, the writer will get to that. I commence today’s match reports with, it being the Sabbath, “hallelujah” to the club’s Premier Women, defeating Caps, 20 –...
