Canada University 7's at Langford March 2nd and 3rd, 2012
After hosting the debut Canadian 7's tournament at UBC last year, the 2012 version will be held at Rugby Canada headqurters in Langford BC. The Men's competition has grow by 50% and will see twelve teams at the tournament while the women's competition has gone from zero teams to five teams. The Birds are in Pool C and share that pool with McMaster, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Friday will feature pool play ( we play at 11:28am, 2:28 pm and 5:28 pm) with playoffs taking place on Saturday (playoffs start at 9:45 am and finish at 6:30pm). Our 2012 team does not have quite the spite and polish of last year's team but we have twelve committed guys who are going to give it their all.
February 15, 2012 California here we come!
A twenty-five man squad will head down to the Bay Area tomorrow where UBC will play the first of two World Cup games as well as a friendly against St. Mary's College. The Birds are up first to Cal and they will play them on February 18th @ 3:00pm at Treasure Island. The birds almost got the deed done last year at Treasure Island but Cal game from behind and scored two converted tries in the last five minutres of the game to trump us 21-13. Our second game against St. Mary's will prove to be a real dog fight as both teams split results last year with UBC dropping a 34-19 result down there and recording 42-7 result at home. The St. Mary's game will be played on their campus on February 21st with a 3:00pm KO.
