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

Fancy Bermudez was in the reserves for Loughborough. Saracens had four Canadians starting Corrigan, Omokhuale, Royer, Apps with Farries in the reserves. Sara Svoboda for Harlequins and Holly Phillips for Bristol both got starting roles. Ealing with 7 Canadians had a bye week. Gloucester and Bristol are the only undefeated teams early in the season.

UBCOB Ravens – October 2025
Ravens Survive First Half : Report by Peter MacDonald
Ravens 33 – UVic 21
With young Kiwi referee Cole Northcote presiding on a cool but thankfully drying afternoon at Jericho U Vic had no sign of ferry legs and brought the heat early. A UVic forwards try at 5 minutes woke up the Ravens who answered with two tries of their own through their forwards and #9 Billy Wickham by the 15-minute mark, 14-7 Ravens. But then UVic took over the game, dominating territory and possession till the half.
BC Club Youth Rugby – October 2025 Updates
A Look at the BC Club U16 & U18 Competitions with 3 Weeks Left in Regular Season
The BC club youth regular season goes to November 16th, the quarter-finals are November 23, semi-finals on the 30th and then the Island v Mainland finals will take place on December 7th at the Langley Events Centre.
Some of last year’s winners look well placed for a return to the championship. In boys U18 last year it was CW over Ravens for the title and this year both teams look on track for a repeat matchup, Abbotsford on the mainland will be the Ravens biggest threat and on the Island both Salish and Cowichan are chasing CW. At the boys U16 level last year it was Abbotsford taking down CW for the title but this year it looks like James Bay are the leading Island team and Capilano and Ravens are leading on the mainland.
Canada Men’s XV – November Tour 2025
Canada Announce 33 Players for November Tour – Coaching Changes, New Players, 13 BC Premier Players on Tour
Coach Stephen Meehan has named 33 players for the November tour to Europe to play Romania, Georgia and Portugal. A few early observations, Phil Mack isn’t mentioned in the coaching staff which seems to confirm rumours there was some falling out with Stephen Meehan and he’s not part of the coaching staff anymore. We’ve reached out to several sources for confirmation. The coaches are listed as forwards coach Anthony Mathison, the fellow Australian who seems to be Meehan’s right hand man, Graeme Moffat skills coach who is the head coach at the University of Lethbridge, and Callum Gibbins who is now listed as defence coach. Gibbins currently seems to be the head coach of the Conestoga Condors, a college in Kitchener, Ontario. He was previously a high level player from NZ, most recently playing with Old Glory in the MLR.
