BC Rugby – Before we start into our news about representative rugby, we would first like to congratulate all our clubs and officials on another fantastic season.

In Memoriam

BC Rugby was saddened to learn about the passing of Cindy Briggs, who was a well known member of the Vancouver Island Rugby community. She, along with her late father Tillman and her son Ollie, formed a multi-generational link of family members that helped to make the name Briggs synonymous with the James Bay Athletic Association.
