BC Women’s Blue vs. Gold Series 2027
BCRU Announce Women’s Blue v Gold Schedule for 2027: Four Matches from January to March
It’s good to see co-operation and communication between Rugby Canada and BC Rugby, at least in the women’s game. Rugby Canada coach Kevin Rouet has taken a hand in making sure there are regional pathways to the national team with some best on best competitions. The Blue v Gold series is an example of that in an Island v Mainland competition covering four matches. The women’s BC Premier league is a bit hit and miss with only about four teams able to make rosters on a consistent basis and play at a consistent level. The Island v Mainland competition gives elite and aspiring players a chance to showcase their talent in a competition the national team coach supports. The women’s Premier gives selectors a chance to evaluate players for regional play.
UBCOB Ravens – November 2026
Ravens Defence the Difference
Ravens 50 – Bayside 17
Report by Peter MacDonald
On a beautiful Halloween day with kids trick or treating in the shops on Broadway, pickleballers out in full force by the pitch and boats on the waters of English Bay, the Bayside prems sailed into Jericho for the first time in many years. With the Ravens lacking drone surveillance of the visitors training sessions, who knew what frights the Bayside men might provide.
BC Rugby Standings Week 7

Special thanks to Peter Muirhead for putting these standings together, the PlayHQ system that the BCRU uses is still not updating properly. The PlayHQ system can be accessed here for match results, however tries and try bonus points are not working consistently on their system at the present time. The tables below are ordered by Points per Game rather than total points. Photo Bayside’s Jesse Mackail by Alfred_Rugby
