The Vancouver Wave are proud to announce an exciting opportunity thanks to our partnership with Langara Fishing Adventures. In support of the Vancouver Wave men’s team for the 2021 Coastal Cup, a fishing trip for two is up for auction! The trip is valued at more than $11,000. Money raised will go towards successfully running this year’s campaign, including covering field rental, travel, equipment and kit expenses, medical/trainer supplies, and general operating costs.
Vancouver Island Crimson Tide 18 – TWU Spartans 8
The best result for the TWU program this season as they kept the game close. This is their match report:
Canada were leading in the match 17-15 with time showing elapsed on the on-screen clock. The forwards were trying to run the clock down with pick and goes but when Conor Keys had a go, he hit the ground in an awkward position, the support was a fraction late arriving and Portugal won the penalty.
Canada’s women’s XVs team is on a roll, winning both matches in Colorado. The full match replay and the Rugby Canada match report are appended below.
While the Club leagues enter Week 4, the Coastal Cup enters Week 7 with 2 weekends left.

Pacific Pride 46 – TWU 17
The Pride were in control from the opening whistle but TWU played with heart for 80 minutes and were rewarded with two late tries through their star winger, Tamilore Awonusi. He’d be a useful addition to the 7s long list if he was Canada eligible.
