BC Premier Week 17 Predictions & Rosters: Ravens @ Westshore, JBAA @ Capilano, Burnaby @ UVic, UBC @ CW – Women’s Premier Thunderbirds @ CW, Ravens @ Westshore
World Rugby Classic – 2025
Canada Classics Finish Tournament with 37-15 Win Over USA
The Canadian Classics wrapped up their tournament with a 37-15 win over USA. They finished the tournament with a 2-1 record, defeating the Lions and USA, and only losing to eventual winner Argentina. The match video and roster is posted below.
Canada v Romania – November 2025
Canada Fall to Romania 31-21 in First November Test: Next Up Georgia
It was pretty much the game expected by most pundits when the 21st ranked team hosted the 24th ranked team. There wasn’t much backline brilliance and the Romanian scrum dominated the match. The first 12 points from Romania came from the boot with infractions by Canada inside their own half, one at the breakdown, one at the lineout and two at the scrum. It was actually Canada and Mason Flesch who scored the first try, 12-7 at the half.
Canada Sevens – November 2025 Update
National Team 7s Camps Begin in Langford for Men and Women: Training Camp Squads Announced
There’s a good mix of talent in the training squads announced for both the men and women. The camp started November 6th and the men’s squad will be preparing for the RAN 7s tournament in Trinidad starting November 21st, the women’s squad will be preparing for the SVNS series in Dubai starting November 29th.
MLR Rugby – November 2025
Utah Warriors Announce They are Suspending Club Operations: MLR Down from 11 Team to 6 Teams for 2026
Utah Warriors announced they are ceasing operations for the upcoming MLR season, that leaves 6 teams remaining from the 11 that competed in 2025. The future of the league looks to be on shaky ground.
The concern from Canada is how that will affect Canadian players, they were already impacted by the announcement earlier by MLR that imports would be limited on teams in 2026 and for the first time Canadian players would be counted as imports. The reduced opportunities to play professional rugby have taken another hit.
Women’s English Premier – PWR Week 2
PWR Week 2 – Thirteen Canadians in Rosters Over Four Matches
