BC Rugby Weekend of November 7th 2026
BC Premier Week 8 Results: Westshore Sink Rowers, CW Dominated by UBC, UVic Edged by Ravens, Burnaby Lose to JBAA
All predictions went as planned, the UVic v Ravens match was a nail biter, just decided by a point in the last minutes. Westshore and UBC won comfortably and the Bays defence held Burnaby to two tries in their win.
It’s Week 8 of the BC Premier and it looks like some national team 7s activity happening as rosters are devoid of national team hopefuls this week plus the XVs team are in Europe. The important SVNS 3 tournament for Canada 7s is in 3 weeks in Dubai. Three teams have byes this week Meraloma, Bayside and Capilano. The Capilano U23 are hosting Edmonton Gold in an exhibition game at Klahanie Sunday at 2.30. A key match is Ravens v UVic, a replay of last year’s final. JBAA try to defend their unbeaten record minus seven starters. Rowers look for their first win on the Island vs Westshore. UBC continue to build towards the university nationals as they host CW.

Canada v Georgia November 2026
Canada Surrender 49 Straight Points in 59-14 Loss to Georgia
Canada were actually ahead 14-10 at 27′ but from there it went downhill as Georgia scored 49 points to finish 59-14 winners. Even though the Georgia scrum was dominant it was the backline that scored all the first half tries for Georgia and scored 6 of their 9 tries overall. Canada also conceded a penalty try on a scrum at 44′ which cost Lucas Rumball a yellow card. Nic Benn also received a yellow card at 19′. Georgia had 65% of the territory and 54% of the possession. Canada’s two tries were scored by Ben Lesage and Izzak Kelly. Jack Gore came on at 70′ to get his first cap. Canada’s next match is against Hong Kong, a must win. Match highlights and reports from CBC Sports and World Rugby are posted below in the article.
Women’s University Championships 2026
UVic and UBC Win Semi-Finals: Face Off in Finals on Sunday
UBC and UVic have met in the U SPORTS final the last two years, UBC winning both times by a narrow margin but UVic may have the upper hand this year based on regular season results. Both had tough games in the semi-finals to advance to the final. UBC, who went in ranked #8, had to defeat #1 Queen’s in the quarters before defeating #4 Guelph in the semis. UVic battled #3 Laval to a draw in regular time before winning in extra time on a drop goal. The U SPORTS match reports and CBC Sports match videos are posted below in the article.
BC Women’s Blue vs. Gold Series 2027
BCRU Announce Women’s Blue v Gold Schedule for 2027: Four Matches from January to March
It’s good to see co-operation and communication between Rugby Canada and BC Rugby, at least in the women’s game. Rugby Canada coach Kevin Rouet has taken a hand in making sure there are regional pathways to the national team with some best on best competitions. The Blue v Gold series is an example of that in an Island v Mainland competition covering four matches. The women’s BC Premier league is a bit hit and miss with only about four teams able to make rosters on a consistent basis and play at a consistent level. The Island v Mainland competition gives elite and aspiring players a chance to showcase their talent in a competition the national team coach supports. The women’s Premier gives selectors a chance to evaluate players for regional play.
UBCOB Ravens – November 2026
Ravens Defence the Difference
Ravens 50 – Bayside 17
Report by Peter MacDonald
On a beautiful Halloween day with kids trick or treating in the shops on Broadway, pickleballers out in full force by the pitch and boats on the waters of English Bay, the Bayside prems sailed into Jericho for the first time in many years. With the Ravens lacking drone surveillance of the visitors training sessions, who knew what frights the Bayside men might provide.
