Just as in hockey, so in rugby, playoff games require a different standard of play than regular season league play. On Sunday at Cumberland’s Village Park the A.F.C. Construction Comox Valley Kickers, wearing their brand new A.F.C. jerseys, learned that lesson to their peril, going down 16-12 to the Cowichan Piggies.

Eventually three players went to the sin bin, but that proved too little and too late to control the game. The Kickers defended well in the early going with Cowichan in the ascendency, but after keeping the visiting Piggies at bay for some time, Kim Anderton forced his way over the Kicker’s try line to put the visitors up 5-0. Soon after, with the Kickers having trouble getting out of their...
