SVNS 3 Tournament – January 2026
Canada Make it to Final Four: Face Hong Kong in Semi-Final Decider
Canada edged its way into the final four, needing a win against Madagascar in their final match after losing to Belgium. It certainly wasn’t a dominant display by Canada who looked good in their first match against Italy but then faded in their final matches, losing to Belgium then narrowly defeating Madagascar to finish 2-1 on Day 1. It’s enough to get them to the all important semi-final where they have a must win game against Hong Kong. Italy defeated Belgium so it gave Canada the #1 seed in their pool by way of the losing bonus point they collected against Belgium. Belgium will face Samoa in the other semi-final, Samoa are the only team to go 3-0 in the tournament and it’s good news that Canada avoided them.

Pacific Pride Roster – Spring 2026
Seven New Forwards and Five New Backs Added to Pacific Pride 2026 Spring Roster
The Pride haven’t exactly been setting the rugby world on fire with their 2025 fall results, a 0-4 record in the BC Premier and a loss to the visiting Chicago Hounds Academy side. One area they need reinforcements is in the forwards, particularly the tight five, and most notably at the prop position where they have had to borrow players on occasion. They have 7 new forwards coming in and 5 backs. The most notable name in the forwards is probably UVic’s Jordy Auger (hooker) and in the backs Jacob Ince (centre) from the uni champions, Guelph Gryphons.
BC Rugby Standings – January 2026
BC Rugby Season Resumes This Weekend: A Look at the Standings in All Divisions
The BC Rugby leagues resume this weekend, except for the Premier which restarts the following weekend, January 24th. We look at some of the races in the Div 1 to Div 3 space. In Men’s Div 1 the Vancouver Rowing Club are undefeated with 3 Island clubs in close pursuit, UVic, Westshore and Nanaimo. There was some talk of VRC returning to the Premier next season and a top Div 1 finish would back their claim. Langley who also have declared their intention of going up to Premier next season are in 12th place and will need to refocus in the 2nd half of the season. This weekend the Rowers host the winless Ravens, Langley host Capilano, UVic host Comox and Abby host Lomas.
Coral Coast Fiji 7s 2026
Coral Coast Fiji 7s Kicks Off January 15th: One Canadian Team Entered
The Coral Coast 7s may be one of the top international 7s tournaments outside the World Rugby SVNS series. It’s based in Fiji and this year there are top teams from Fiji, NZ, Australia, Japan, GB and USA. There’s one team from BC, the Pacific Warriors, who are mostly a Fijian-Canadian team. They won all the major 7s summer tournaments in BC in 2025, the Bayside 7s, the Bula 7s and the Westshore 7s. They’ll be in tough competition in Fiji however, they’re in a pool (Pool F) with two Fijian teams and an Australian Fijian team. Highlighting Pool A are the Fijian Babas, Pool B NZ Development, Pool C the USA 7s team, Pool D Aussie Selects and Pool E Japan SDS. Mike Friday has a Select 7s team that has an all star roster, that includes Terry Kennedy, Harry McNulty and Jordan Conroy from Ireland, Perry Baker from USA, Luke Treharne from Wales and a host of top Fijian players including Jerry Tuwai. We’ll try to get the Pacific Warriors roster to add to this article.
European Champions and Challenge Cup Updates
Updates on the European Champions and Challenge Cup with One Pool Round Remaining
There’s one more pool round in the European Champions and Challenge Cup before the Round of 16 starts in April. We’ll be especially watching Castres (Tyler Ardron) and Montpellier (Tyler Duguid). Castres are in the Champions Cup but sit at the bottom of their pool, they’ll need a win in Munster next weekend to have a chance of a top 4 finish and advancement to the Round of 16. If they finish 5th they drop to the Challenge Cup and if 6th, they’re out. Montpellier are in the Challenge Cup and top their pool, they play tomorrow (Sunday) and have a good chance of remaining #1 seed in their pool.
