What is the best combination in Canada to watch the following without using a vpn:

  • URC
  • Autumn Internationals
  • Champions cup
  • Six Nations

Looks like Flo rugby does URC (sportsnet world also does URC) and the Champions cup but where can I watch the internationals?

English Prem on Sportsnet Now

Hello - I’m trying to watch English prem games on replay using the Sportsnet app the day after. The replay is there but when I select it I get the following message “The video is not working or not available in your region.” I can watch rugby league or URC on replay though.

Is this a one off issue or have English prem not allowed the games to be replayed?

2024 Men's Recap, Jones' Contract Status and RWC27 Qualifying Sanity Check

2024 Tests - Crushed by Scotland B (73-12). Meaningless Fluke Win v. Romania (35-22). PNC Last place, no wins, losses to the weaker teams Tonga (30-17), USA (28-15), Japan (55-28). Mercifully, we didn't get to play Samoa or Fiji, who might have scored 100+.

7's Team bounced out of the Series, AND failed to qualify for Olympics. That's all that needs to be said.

This has been what Kingsley Jones has produced for his two-year extension until 2025. If there was any logic, backbone or accountability in Rugby Canada, he would have already been replaced by literally anyone or anything.

But - with the expansion of the RWC27 pools giving even MORE advantages to try and limp the US and Canada in the back door...Jones STILL probably keeps his job. Just amazing. Mind you - part of the reason is likely that no coach with half a brain would take the job to replace him. The Men's game is completely dead in this country.

HAVE WE LEARNED ANYTHING. Literally, ANYTHING at all? Is there REMOTELY a positive path forward? Or was this just another completely wasted year, more good money after bad watching Jones cash his paycheques in a world where performance literally doesn't matter at all?

Researching the 2007 CanAm. Looking for old match reports.

Does anyone know where to find old match reports? I went to the RugbyCanada website but their reports only go back to 2017. I need to find comprehensive information pertaining to 2 matches played between the Canadian Women's national team and the USA Women's national team. The dates of these two matches are 2007-08-27 and 2007-08-29. Any advice or information would be much appreciated.

Cheers 🍻

Watching Top 14 in Canada

Does anyone know if there are any services to watch the top 14 live or on demand in Canada? Scoured the internet and it basically seems like getting a service elsewhere and using a VPN is the only option.

Remember when the US was a challenging, but fairly safe win?

Those were the days.

Didn’t think the first pacific cup game would be that bad

I’m really not sure how getting humiliated by real tier one nations benefits the mens program.

This is like having the Cuban national hockey team play the Canadian national hockey team and thinking that this would make Cuba a better hockey playing nation.

It’s disheartening really . I feel like reasonably this downfall will continue unabated until we’re outside the top 30-35 nations.

I’ve been a long time supporter but it’s hard justifying the price to go watch a game that’s over within the first 15 minutes.

Canadian Pros not playing for Team Canada

Looking to see if anyone has seen a list or knows how many Canadians we have playing pro over seas?

I'm really interested to see how many players we are missing out on.

Montreal 1862

Nic Clapinson, former Canadian international and current coach, founded a team called Montreal 1862. Presumably patterned after the Highlanders and Privateers. First game this weekend against Old Blue. Interested to see how this pans out.

Is this the direction that rugby in Canada is going? Elite teams operating independently of Rugby Canada?

16yr (F) interested in rugby

hi. i’m a 16 year old girl from BC (North Shore/Vancouver) and i’ve recently been really interested in trying rugby and learning about the sport. i know it’s too late for me to join any academies/teams, but does anyone know where i could get some beginner experience with rugby?

also wondering if womens rugby intramurals/clubs are a thing in canadian universities—and if so, which ones?

thanks everyone!

How? Is our rugby 7s program just as bad as the 15s?
