BC Premier Final Make-Up Weekend Ravens @ UVic – A Look at Men’s Division One Playoff Picture With Three Matches
Pacific Four 2026 – Canada v USA
Canada v USA on Friday at 5:30pm PT
Canada dropped from #2 to #3 with their recent loss to NZ, now they face their southern rivals USA who rose from #8 to #7 with their win over Australia. It was the first win for former Canada 7s coach, Jack Hanratty, who recently took over the USA women’s XVs. That’s an interesting side note to the match Rouet v Hanratty in coaching strategy. Canada were outplayed and outcoached against NZ, NZ adapted at half time and went from 14-10 down to dominating the second half 26-0 and claiming an emphatic 36-14 win.
