Pacific Four Series – 2026
Pacific Four Series Schedule Announced: USA to Host Five Matches in April, Australia to Host One Match
The USA will host the majority of the Pacific Four series in April with Australia hosting New Zealand in the 6th match. It will be interesting for Canada as Jack Hanratty the former Canadian 7s coach will be in charge of team USA for the first time at this tournament. The PWR league in the UK shuts down for April and resumes at the end of May between Rounds 16 and 17 so all UK based players will be available. There was no sign of Sophie de Goede in the Saracens roster this past weekend so her recovery from injury remains a concern.

CanWest 7s 2026 – Edmonton
UBC Win 2nd Tournament in Victoria – Poised for 4th Consecutive Series Title with One Tournament Remaining
UBC have all but clinched the CanWest 7s title, it would be their 4th straight title and would match UVic who won 4 titles from 2018 to 2022. There’s one tournament left at UBC in March but with a commanding 6 point lead in the series standings it would not only require UVic to beat UBC but another team to beat UBC as well, unlikely based on current form. Top try scorers in the tournament for UBC Jaime Dickson with 6 tries, Adia Pye, Kiki Idowu, Piper Logan all with 5 tries. For UVic Ivy Poetker was top try scorer with 8 tries, making her the top tournament try scorer and with 7 tries in the first tournament, she’s leading the series try scoring count at 15. Adia Pye with 9 tries in Edmonton and 5 in Victoria is 2nd with 14 tries overall.

BC Premier Week 13 Results: Caps Upset UVic, Burnaby Fall to Ravens, Lomas Lose to Westshore, Bays Clobber CW; Exhibition TWU Trounced by Pride, Cal Bears Maul UBC – Women’s Premier Lomas Defeat Westshore, Seattle Crushed by CW, Burnaby Beat Ravens
It’s getting down to the last third of the season, most teams have 5 games left with 12 played. Burnaby and Lomas only have 4 games left and UVic and UBC have 6 games left. CW and Lomas are effectively eliminated from post season play and only UVic now has a chance to catch the top 6 going to the playoffs. In women’s Premier the Lomas show they’re deserving of the #1 ranking, impressive considering they’ve come up from Div 1 last year. There’s no rugby next weekend, Family Day weekend, but play resumes February 21st.
