BC Rugby Weekend of April 18th 2026
Premier Final Make-Up Weekend Ravens @ UVic – A Look at Men’s Division One Playoff Picture With Three Matches
There’s only one Premier match in the final make-up weekend before the playoffs, it’s #1 Ravens vs #6 Vikes. If the Vikes win by a bonus point they’ll overtake Capilano for #5 and it will change the quarter-finals. Currently it’s looking like UVic @ Westshore and Capilano @ Bays but if UVic win with a bonus point it will be UVic @ Bays and Capilano @ Westshore. If the Vikes win without a bonus point it will tie them with Caps but Capilano won both head to head matches so claim 5th in the tie breaker. In men’s Division One there are three matches and two of them can impact the playoff picture.

Hong Kong 7s 2026
Canada 2-0 on Day 1 of Hong Kong 7s: Face Australia on Day 2
Canada flexed on newly promoted South Africa and Great Britain who finished last in the SVNS 1 series. The real test will be on Day 2 when they face Australia. The top 2 teams in each pool go through to the quarter-finals plus the two best 3rd place teams. Canada are guaranteed a top 2 finish in Pool B, if they lose to Australia they’ll face the runner up in Pool C, USA or France. If they defeat Australia they’ll get an easier QF match against the best 3rd place team, possibly Fiji or Japan.
Pacific Four 2026 – Canada v NZ
Canada Women face NZ on Friday evening in Kansas City 3:15pm PT
Canada face NZ on Friday evening in Kansas City. The weather forecast for Friday in Kansas City, “Increasingly windy; watch for severe thunderstorms in the afternoon; significant risk of damaging winds, destructive hail, tornadoes and flooding downpours”. It doesn’t sound like the best conditions for expansive rugby, somewhat similar to conditions in California in the previous match versus Australia. It may be a situation where the team that adapts best prospers.
Editorial April 2026
Rugby Canada Releases Annual Report – What’s Not Mentioned
Sometimes in the news it’s what’s missing that’s important. This is one of those stories. I struggled with writing this article but information was presented to me a while ago that keeps resurfacing in daily thought, and it’s time to share it with the wider rugby community, perhaps to excise it from my list of responsibilities as a rugby journalist. It’s an unpleasant story, it won’t make you feel good, so you may want to pause and turn back before proceeding.

Pacific Four 2026 – Canada v Australia
Canada Defeat Australia 24-0 in Blustery Conditions
It wasn’t ideal playing conditions, a water logged field, driving rain and a weather delay due to lightning but Canada managed to score four tries for a bonus point while keeping Australia off the board. It wasn’t champagne rugby but Canada’s defence got the job done. Outstanding for Canada were Justine Pelletier at scrum half, Julia Omokhuale in the second row, Pam Buisa at flanker and Brittany Kassil at loosehead prop.

BC Premier Week 18 Results: Lomas Fall to Burnaby, Westshore Dominate Caps, UBC Upset by Bays, UVic Cruise Past CW – Women’s Premier Westshore Humbled by Thunderbirds, Lomas Lose to Burnaby
It’s the last regular season weekend, there’s one make-up weekend before the playoffs with UVic hosting Ravens on April 18th. The playoffs start April 25th. The results this weekend created two ties in the standings and the tie-breaking rules had to be consulted, head to head results comes first. That puts UVic in the playoffs and Burnaby out, it also gives UBC 2nd place and Westshore 3rd. In women’s Premier UBC dominated and finish in 3rd, Westshore drop to 4th and Burnaby claim 2nd, Lomas remain #1.
