Canada v France – September 2026

Canada Drop Match Against #4 France 21-5: Full Match Video

Was it the absence of Sophie de Goede or the let down after drawing with #1 England, either way Canada came out flat and were outplayed by France. The last time Canada were held to five points or less was in 2022, again by France when they blanked Canada 36-0 at the World Cup. They missed the leadership of Sophie de Goede, that was evident in subtle ways, when they had the momentum and France pinned in their 5 metres with a lineout, Canada didn’t put any jumpers up, no pressure at all. The forwards, usually Canada’s winning advantage, looked disconnected. The backline, never Canada’s strong point, struggled to make any impact.

Canada scored one try, by #8 Lizzie Gibson, who has been solid on this tour. Olivia Apps, who started at scrum half, then moved to the centres was the top back for Canada. Canada play at home next against England. Also congrats to former Canada coach, Francois Ratier, now France coach who had his team playing at top level. Full match video link below, plus World Rugby and Canadian Press reports.

Ravens Still in Form Ravens 58 – Meralomas 0
Report by Peter MacDonald

On a beautiful late summer day at Jericho the proceedings began with a moment’s silence for Joan Porter who passed away this summer. Joan was a leading supporter of BC Rugby and the four clubs her family were involved with over three generations, the Rowing Club, Meralomas, Ravens and Scribes. In recent years Joan would bus to Jericho, watch the game and mingle, then hang at the clubhouse and pick up a ride home like a 19 year-old with whomever was heading her way. She was loved and will be missed by the Ravens family.

Kamloops 7s Weekend Wraps Up: Alberta Teams Win Six Out of Ten Titles

In 2025 BC teams won 8 out of the 10 titles and 4 out of 4 of the Elite/Competitive titles. In 2026 BC won 4 out of the 10 titles and 1 out of 4 of the Elite/Competitive titles. In 2026 Alberta teams were the big winners, despite only representing 20% of the entrants they claimed 60% of the titles and 75% of the Elite titles. Is this an anomaly or does it mark a shift in youth rugby?

The PlayHQ system can be accessed here for match results, however tries and try bonus points are not accurately calculated on their system at this time.
