Wednesday's Ruck & Maul

Perhaps ALL tackles at ALL levels should be below the sternum? That certainly would reduce TMO time!

REGISTRATION EXAGGERATION!

Today the writer apologizes for an error on this data in the previous post. The actual figure is 425, not the 540 reported.  it was a data misread!

U12 Boys Jamboree - Road Trip to Cumberland

We feature a couple of photos from this event last Sunday. It was played at Cumberland and hosted by the Comox Rapids.  The two clubs are to be congratulated on seeking a somewhat “middle ground location”, reducing travel over the Malahat and ensuring that competition occurs.  Distance and rugby growth in Canada are two major challenges the game has, so it is good to see clubs looking to facilitate games with accommodating outcomes.  Great work for Comox Rapids, a club growing in both genders, age grade and senior men and women, and attempting to reduce the complexity of travel.  CW’s Men’s Islanders play the Comox Men this Saturday at Windsor as a curtain-raiser to the Premier CW vs. Pride match.

BC GIRL's U16

BC Rugby is delighted to announce the return of the BC Bears U16 Girls 7s program with the team set to compete at the 2024 Tropical 7s in Florida next March.    
 
Under the leadership of BC Bears Girls 7s Head Coach Darcy Patterson, the U16 Girls 7s team will travel to competition for the first time since 2019 when the final squad heads to Florida over the 2024 Easter weekend.
 
This is a fantastic opportunity for U16 female athletes interested in the high-performance pathway, as the program closely aligns with the 2024 BC Summer Games in Maple Ridge and the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St John’s, Newfoundland!
