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.

UBCOB Ravens – January 2026
Ravens Play to Their Strength for Late Win Ravens 24 – UBC 23
Report by Peter MacDonald
On a wet day at UBC it was another great game between these two fraternal clubs and it was the big brother that came away with the win despite being clearly outplayed for the first 60 minutes.
When UBC centre Alistair Marshall from first phase ball easily passed through the Raven backfield at 3 minutes to score from 40 metres out UBC took a lead they did not relinquish till the game’s last second. Then, with the Ravens’ Jake Ikeda off on a yellow card, UBC at 15 minutes tallied again with Stephen Webb stepping in and wrestling the ball down from close range, 12-0 UBC. The students’ fitness, speed, structure and ball movement had the Ravens stretched and taking on water but with Joe McNulty off on a yellow the Ravens had a moment of sustained attacking pressure and hooker Jake Tieney dove in, and with the easy conversion missed it was 12-5 UBC at 25 minutes.
Kamloops Rugby Updates – January 2026
Kamloops Match Reports by William Shaw: Raiders Split Games in Coquitlam, Women Defeat United, Men Lose Their Match
With a double game vs United for both Senior Raider teams, the squads left Kamloops at 5:45 am for Town Center Park, Coquitlam.
The ladies kicked off to the hosting United in rainy, grey conditions. The wet conditions hampered the hosts, and the Raiders were able to regain possession. The Raider forwards moved the ball cleanly between them and with strong carries from Thea Flundra and Lindsay Stobbe, the Raiders were breaking the gain line. The United scrumhalf showed her pace early and often throughout the game, causing problems for both KRC scrum halves, while United showed great pace off the defensive line.
Singapore SVNS – 2026
Canada Claim Bronze in Singapore With Win Over USA: Claim 4th Place in Overall Standings
Canada finished 3rd in Singapore, their best finish of the season, with two previous 6th place finishes. The addition of players from the PWR, especially Olivia Apps, helped raise their level of performance. They’re still a ways behind NZ and Australia who contested for the final with NZ coming out on top. Canada lost their semi-final to Australia 35-10 but defeated USA 24-19 in the Bronze medal match. That win vaults Canada into 4th in the standings from 7th previously. Next up is Perth and Canada have the same pool opponents, Australia, France, Great Britain.
