All the Canadian rugby action has been taking place in the United States this past weekend, and it looks as though the US is becoming the 11th province!

On Friday, the Pacific Four Series kicked off in Kansas City, as Canada opened their defence of their PAC title against the Eagles. A tight, rusty affair had Canada blitz out in the final quarter of the game to take the victory, 26-14.

On Saturday & Sunday, LA hosted the Championship final of the SVNS, with both Canadian teams taking part in different tournaments; the women were in the Championship pool, looking to become World Champions. Up against 2 of the ebst teams in the world, Canada fought back to make it to the Bronze final, beating the hosts to take a medal from the series.

The men, meanwhile, were in the Relegation Pool...or were they? With a sudden change to next season's SVNS announced, the Men were now competing to appear in Division 2? Either way, despite their best efforts, the men came up short, and will have to go through this whole rigamarole again, in an aim to make the World Championships next season.

True North, Strong & Free!
