Canada women lost both of their Day 2 matches, first to Australia in the quarter-finals and then to Japan in the 7th/8th playoff match. The loss to Australia was decisive 39-0, the loss to Japan was an improvement over their opening 40-5 pool loss to Japan, this time it was 24-22 with two late Canada tries closing the gap.

Canada won the RAN 7s without giving up a point but what’s next on the Challenger Series? Canada have to finish top four in that series to get a place at the promotion/relegation tournament, when again the top four move up to the Tier 1 World Rugby Series.
It’s Week 7 of the men’s Premier with the Ravens remaining the only undefeated team. The women’s Premier features the #1 and #2 teams in a matchup.
On a miserably cold, rainy day at Jericho on a spongy, wet pitch two of the best teams in the competition played to a standstill with the rugby gods intervening near the end to favour the home team on the 50th anniversary weekend of the club. Each team scored a single try and set out an equally strong defence leaving the pundits no wiser as to which may be the better squad. Perhaps a playoff rematch in the spring will answer that question.
The MLR have announced their 2025 schedule that runs from the weekend of Feb 15/16 to June 7/8 with the playoffs to follow. The league now has 11 teams with Dallas Jackals dropping out this season.

This wasn’t an outcome anyone predicted. The first time a University outside of BC wins the national title and it’s an engineering school in Montreal, fairly unknown in the Canadian rugby world. ETS is on the rugby map now and they’re hosting the championship next year.
