Canada v Hong Kong – November 2026
Canada Victorious Over Hong Kong 38-17: HT 7-10
Canada needed a comeback victory to get the win against Hong Kong, down 10-7 at the half and then 17-7 just a few minutes into the second, Canada battled back in the last 30 minutes to put up 31 points, a point a minute, while holding Hong Kong off the scoresheet. Jason Higgins came on at scrum half at 41 minutes and Matt Oworu replaced Evan Olmstead at 47′. It was Canada’s maul that made the difference today, setting up the first and second tries and causing Hong Kong to take yellow cards in both cases. Canada took its first lead at the 60′ mark, 21-17, with a try by Spencer Jones. That go ahead try was set up with a steal on the Hong Kong scrum, a bullocking run by Oworu, a line break by Takoda McMullin and multiple phases inside the 5 metres. Eventually Canada had a 3 on 1 on the outside with Hong Kong still down to 14 men.

BC Rugby Weekend of November 14th 2026
BC Premier Week 9 Predictions & Rosters: Burnaby @ Rowers, Ravens @ Capilano, Bayside @ Meraloma – JBAA @ UBC Postponed
Only 3 matches on tap this weekend, the UBC v JBAA game has been marked as postponed without a rematch date posted. UBC are going into the national university championships with their first match against Western on Tuesday, they wouldn’t be able to field a first string team this weekend, I’m guessing that’s the main reason. The Bays with two byes and both matches against University teams postponed have only played 5 matches so far this fall. Teams with byes this week are Westshore, UVic, CW. Rowers will be looking for their first win as they host Burnaby, Bayside looking for their 2nd win as they visit Lomas and the Ravens (5-1) v Caps (5-1) match should be the highlight of the weekend.
Rugby Canada Updates – November 2026
Rugby Canada and USA Rugby Announce Four Year Agreement on Establishing Annual Fixtures and Training Camps Across Age Grade Pathways
This is one of those stories where a media release is made about something that was considered normal in the past, back to the future. Canada and USA rugby co-operation was taken for granted in the past, now it’s a media release because it was neglected in the post COVID era. Pre-COVID it was thriving, 2019 the Canada U18 teams (two of them) toured to California at the end of December, July 2019 the USA U18 team came up to Vancouver Island to play three matches against Canada U18, December 2018 Canada U18 sent two teams to California to play the USA U18 teams. It’s seven years ago since 2019 but it seems many have forgotten, it’s not surprising, was the Rugby Canada CEO here then, no, was the Rugby Canada High Performance Director here, no, was the Rugby Canada Head Coach here, no. This is all new for them, so hence the media release. Below is the Rugby Canada media release and as a reminder the December 2019 Canada U18 schedule.
Rugby on Remembrance Day
A Look at Rugby on Remembrance Day in 1945-1947, 1987
The Armistice, an agreement to end the fighting of the First World War as a prelude to peace negotiations, began at 11am on 11 November 1918. That was the history behind Armistice or Remembrance Day. “At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we will remember them”. We take a look at how rugby in Victoria was part of the Remembrance Day events in the years after World War II and as recent as 1987.
UBCOB Ravens – November 2026
Not a Masterpiece
Ravens 26 – UVic 25
Report by Peter MacDonald
In a rematch of last year’s Premier final, the Ravens managed to squeak out a win despite being dominated in the sets, losing half of their lineouts and holding only about 30% of possession. Like the Cleveland Cavaliers, UVic were the clear winners “analytically and in the expected score”. Defence and one moment of good rugby by the Ravens in the dying minutes was the difference.

BC Rugby Standings Week 8
League Standings for Premier, Div 1, Div 2, Div 3
Special thanks to Peter Muirhead for putting these standings together, the PlayHQ system that the BCRU uses is still not updating properly. The PlayHQ system can be accessed here for match results, however tries and try bonus points are not working consistently on their system at the present time. The tables below are ordered by Points per Game rather than total points. Photo by Dave Nicholson – Phil Mack playing Div 1 for JBAA vs Nanaimo.
