Men’s U20 Camp – February 2023

Canada Red Win Intersquad Match Over Canada Black: Match Photos (41)

It was an interesting match that changed abruptly in the second half when subs were made. Canada Red were ahead 26-0 at the half and looked to be on their way to a rout but in the second half Canada Black fired back and were on the ascendancy when the final whistle blew. The final result according to our tally was 38-29, Canada Red winning the first half 26-0 but Canada Black winning the second half 29-12.

The rosters are below. In the first half the Red scrum was dominant and the halfbacks looked sharp. That changed around in the second half after the subs with the Black scrum dominant and the halfbacks looking sharp. Selectors will have their work cut out making selection decisions.

*Canada U20 Camp This Weekend: List of Players by Position*

The men’s U20 team have a camp this weekend at Shawnigan Lake. There are 46 players invited, Rugby Canada posted a list by home town, that can be found on Twitter. We’ve sorted the list by position. Also there are a number of players who are on the Reserves/Injured/Unavailable list which we’ve appended below.

We recognize some of the names, Tyler Matchem and Aaron Clark front row from the Pacfic Pride. In the second row Alistair Bruce (Pride), Muiredach Casey (UVic), Joe McNulty (UBC), Jaiden John (Pride), Leo Chen (TWU). Loose forwards Taine Clague (UVic), Sol Jacques (UBC), Brendan Kim (UVic), Callum Arneson (UBC), Ethan Lee (UBC). At scrum half Brady White (Pride), fly half Justin Taylor (Pride), Owain Cormack (UBC), Alex Gamage (UVic). In the centres Noah Flesch (Pride), Alastair Marshall (UBC), Liam Poulton (UBC). In the back three James Thiel (Pride), Lucas Scheck (Pride), Allan Berros (Pride), Craig Mitchell-Hermann (JBAA). In the reserves/unavailable list we’ve been tracking Dylan Cleaver from the North Island U20, a great prospect. Also Darwin Douglas a big prop who went to Shawnigan and is now at Cardiff Met.

Good luck to all at the camp and those on the long list. We hope to drop by Monday to get a few photos.
