Canada v Portugal – November 2025
Canada Fall to Portugal 33-27 to Close Out November Tour
It was as close to a win that Canada got this November, 16-16 at the half, and their scrum wasn’t battered as in the first two matches. It was Canada’s there for the taking, down 6 points, the man advantage, the ball 15 metres out from the goal line in front of the posts, four minutes left. Then one attempt at a clever, no look, pass that’s intercepted and suddenly they’re defending inside their 22 with time expiring. That play seemed to epitomise the Canada’s men’s XVs mindset right now. Instead of playing high percentage, patient rugby in this situation, it’s a 50-50 go for glory option that’s chosen. Is it a lack of confidence, a lack of leadership, a lack of communication? The game goes into the “could have won but didn’t” category, an improvement over the “never in the game” category.

UBCOB Ravens – November 2025
Ravens Defend Home Turf: Ravens 36 – Pride 9
Report by Peter MacDonald
A soggy November morning gave way to a dry afternoon and some good rugby for the players and stalwart fans at Jericho. The Ravens dominated possession for the first 25 minutes tallying two tries the first through Noah Bain beating his man outside and sending a grubber across the line to be touched down by Mark Wandeto and the second a Joe Locke line break and pass to Jake Tierney who also grubbered and then jackalled to regain possession for Cole Keffer who jinked about and dove in for a 14-3 Ravens lead.
