BC won all four of its games at the Canadian U19 rugby championships to successfully defend its title.

The final was a close contest with the Prairie Wolfpack leading for most of the game. The Wolfpack went ahead early with a try, BC narrowed the gap a little later to trail 5-3. Jorden Sandover-Best scored for BC with Quinton WIllms converting to take the lead 10-5, still in the first half. The Wolfpack replied with an unconverted try and a penalty kick to go into the half with the lead, 13-10.

The game would remain locked at 13-10 until 5 minutes left in the game when Jorden Sandover-Best blocked a kick and James Pitblado scored the winning try. The game ended 15-13 for BC.

BC ran up a 43-0 scoreline within 50 minutes then put on the cruise control to finish 43-12 winners. BC are now 2-0 at the tournament with only the Prairie Wolfpack left to play on Saturday. The Wolfpack defeated Ontario 25-22 today creating a tie for top spot with both Wolfpack and BC having 2-0 records. The top two teams will meet on Sunday to determine the tournament winner and with Ontario and Voyageurs now sitting at 0-2 the finalists are guaranteed to be the Prairie Wolfpack and BC, an all west affair. The teams will meet on consecutive days, Saturday for the pool round game and Sunday for the final.

BC Scorers: 43 pts
Tries: MacBryan Bos x2, Nathan Yanagiya, Dyland Kiselbach, James Pitblado, Rob Fenton, Nolan Laderoute
Conversions: Quinton WIllms x4

It's almost a completely new look BC lineup today versus the Voyageurs. There's a new front row. Tucker is moved from second row to #8, and a new second row partner for Hamilton is brought in. The flankers have been changed so only two forwards from the Ontario game remain in the starting lineup.

In the backs Jorden Sandover-Best remains at scrum half but James Pitplado gets the start at #10, moved from fullback. Quinton Willms switches to fullback from #10. McLean is moved from wing to inside centre, Yanagiya keeps his outside centre position and two new backs are brought in.

The BC vs Ontario game at the CRC U19 tournament in Calgary started at noon BC time. BC have gone up 5-0 in the first half, that lead was cut short by an Ontario penalty, score 5-3 to BC still in the first half. BC scored a second try which was converted, sorry no names yet on the twitter feeds. That's how the scoreline stands at halftime.

In the second half teams exchanged tries in the first 10 minutes and the score differential remains 9, 19-10 for BC. Ontario have come back with two unconverted tries and lead 20-19 with time ticking down. BC have kicked a penalty with very little time left and regain the lead 22-20.

And it's over, a nail-biting close victory for BC over Ontario.

SCORING DETAILS BC

Quinton Willms (1T, 1P, 1C), Nathan Yanagiya (1T), Crosby Stewart (1T)
