WINDING UP THE WEEK
SEVENS HEAVEN? Canada’s Women went 2 – 1 on day #1 at Dubai, losing to nemesis, England, 17 – 12 in a hard-fought contest. The physicality and commitment in this video makes many a mere watcher, cringe! After defeating U.S.A., 36 – 0 on day #2, the ladies faced another nemesis in the...
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....

Battle for Barnard
CW has produced a few new looks going into today’s third encounter of the season with the students for the 104th version of the silverware. After a Premier season that has gone winless to date, it would be sweet to put the cup in the cabinet for twelve months. With the return of the NSMT from...

Monday's Musings
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...
BC Rugby Hall of Fame inductee Keith Morrison passes away
If you were involved in rugby in BC back in the 1980s, you were always pretty pleased to find out that Keith Morrison had been assigned to referee your game. He was consistent, decisive and had a "players first" attitude.Not surprisingly, after a steady diet of JBAAs, Cowichans, Castaways, Oak...

CW U18s fall to Capilanos in Provincial Semi-final
A hard fought semi-final match between two perennial powerhouses in junior rugby today. Capilanos came, saw and conquered all before them in a contest that was not for the feint of heart. Both teams were able to produce compelling offensive sequences finishing with a number of tries for...

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...
A Win Is A Win!
Nanyak scores lone tally. Speaking with many rugby types at Windsor yesterday, few had any idea re Canada’s performance Vs. Namibia. We quote Patrick Johnston’s (The Province) report, as it equates to much of what this pundit assessed and is an objective point of view; “Shall we start with...
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...

Wednesday's, "Ruck & Maul".
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...

Marshall, Duke Recognised By Baabaas
CW adds our congratulations to Justin Marshall and Sean Duke who have been selected to the Barbarians squad to play Leicester mid-week. This honour has been credited to only Mark Wyatt and Gareth Rees, so it will be a very special occasion. This will be only a momentary aside to what, no doubt,...
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...
