BC Men's Teams Finish Top in Pool Play: Playoffs Start Saturday
[ed. the BC Blue team lost one game, to BC Gold, otherwise are undefeated against other provinces]
posted Aug 9 2012
The BC U18 men are looking dominant scoring 166 points in four games and only allowing 5 points. They face Ontario, who finished 4th in pool play, in the semis on Saturday. Quebec who are a surprising 4-0 and in 2nd place face Alberta in the other semi.
In U16 the BC teams are in 1st (Gold) and 4th (Blue) positions so meet each other in the semi-finals. The two Ontario teams meet in the other semi, so it's definitely going to be a BC v Ontario final.
The BC U18 women finish pool play in 3rd spot and face Alberta in the playoffs. First place Ontario meet Quebec in the other semi.

posted Aug 2 2012
from Andrew Smith - BCRU
Four British Columbia provincial rugby teams will travel to Sherbrooke, Quebec next week for the 2012 Rugby Canada National Championship Festival. The five-day tournament will feature over 650 age grade players from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Newfoundland.
The four BC teams will look to emulate last year's success in Calgary where the U18 and U16 men's teams were crowned national champions, the U18 women's team claimed silver and the men's U16-2's came home with bronze. Each BC team will play double-headers on August 8th and 9th, with the playoff rounds set for August 11th and the championship finals slated for August 12th.

Provincial and National Competitions Announced for U16/U18/U19 Age Groups - National Women's Championship Venue Announced
posted May 2 2012
PRCs and National Championship Festival
The national championship festival which promotes inter-provincial competition at the U16 and U18 level will be held in Sherbrooke, Quebec this year from August 6th to 12th. BC did well in the competition last year, winning the men's U18 title with a 38-33 victory over Ontario. The BC men's U16 team was dominant, winning the final 88-5 over Newfoundland. In women's U18 play, BC finished second to Ontario, losing the final 34-18.
The PRCs (Provincial Regional Championships) are the provincial selection and preparation tool for the national championships. The inter-regional competition takes place from July 6th to 8th at UBC. Last year there were U16 Men’s (9 regions), U18 Women’s (4 Regions) and U18 Men’s (6 Regions) divisions. Vancouver Island South won the U16 title, Fraser Valley won the U18 titles in both men's and women's divisions.
U19 National Competition
The national U19 competition will take place in Alberta at the Nor'Westers Athletic Association's fields in South-East Edmonton. The competition takes place July 11-15. This is the second year for the competition which used to be the U20 championship, the change was driven by national coaches who wanted to see players at an earlier age for the national U20 program. BC didn't enter a team last year as they were organized for U20 competition not U19, so this is BC's first year in the competition. Unlike the U16 and U18 levels where there is a corresponding Provincial competition to prepare and select players, there is no inter-regional competition at the U19 level. So how the team is selected remains to be seen.
National Women's Championship
The senior national women's championship takes place in Québec City this year from June 29th to July 1st. BC entered two teams last year, a U23 side in the Tier 2 division and a senior side in the Tier 1 division. The BC U23 side won the Tier 2 while the senior team placed 3rd in Tier 1.
