BC Rugby Wrapup for Weekend of September 9th 2023: Premier Preseason Results; Coastal Cup and Dunbar Keg Results
It was a beautiful sunny weekend for rugby, at least on the south Island where I took in some matches.
At UVic there was a triple header starting with the Dunbar Keg match, South Island Tide vs North Island Tsunami. That was won by North Island 36-33. Vancouver defeated Valley 61-0 in the other U20 match. Next weekend the Valley host the Tide at Langley and Vancouver host Tsunami at UBC.

A Player’s Perspective: Canada to NZ – Part 6
Playing for Taranaki Māori, Trip to Wellington and Historical Parallels With Canada and New Zealand

Kia Ora koutou, hello everyone, and thank you again for tuning in to BCRN, Article 6 of A Player’s Perspective. I cannot believe my blog writing career has made it this far and we are still going strong! I never saw myself doing something like this but look where we are now. To start us off here, there is TONS of test rugby to look forward to. At the time of writing, the Canada boys have not played yet, so good luck in these upcoming matches against Tonga. What an amazing opportunity ahead to test yourself against some extremely renowned players and for some, obtain their first cap. The recent Bledisloe Cup and Summer Test Series matches were a treat to watch along with most international sides naming their World Cup squads in the coming days. Lots of rugby happening and lots more to come with it being a World Cup year.
