MASTERS RUGBY
Several Masters programs throughout BC are back up and running, with matches to be scheduled soon.
Masters is a social form of contact Rugby for ages 35+, who maybe cannot train or play as hard as they used to! It is centred around the core values and traditions of contact Rugby, often pitting old friends and foes against each other.
