Rugby 7’s FLY’n See packages for as low as $1,451 VANCOUVER - Our senior men’s national sevens team is back on the IRB Sevens Core Circuit and from March 22nd-24th will be competing in the world’s most popular sevens tournament - the Cathay Pacific-HSBC Hong Kong Sevens. Captained by Richmond, BC’s Nathan Hirayama, Canada was one of three teams last March to claim core status on the 2012-13 Sevens World Series. Vancouver’s Sean Duke scored a hat-trick to help Canada win the Shield in the core team qualifier final, recording a historic 22-5 victory over Spain. Hong Kong Stadium - a 40,000 capacity facility that overlooks Causeway Bay - has been home to some of Canada’s top performances in recent years. In 2011, Canada beat Japan 33-12 to win their second straight Bowl Championship. Duke was again at the forefront of Canada’s offence, pacing the Canucks with two crucial tries. Back to reassert himself as one of the Circuit’s elite players this season is 2011 7s player of the year and Victoria product Phil Mack. Fellow BC reps crashing onto the international scene include 18-year-old BC Elite Youth Sevens phenom Justin Douglas of Abbotsford and former Canada U20 captain Harry Jones of North Vancouver. For Canadian rugby fans looking to see our national team cement their place as an elite squad in front of 40,000 fans, Cathay Pacific is offering a limited number of Fly’n See packages for departures from Vancouver or Toronto to Hong Kong, including a 3-day tournament pass.

Rugby thrives on traditions, with some fixtures between clubs in Britain going back over one hundred and fifty years. On Saturday at Cumberland Village Park the Comox Valley Kickers and the Port Alberni Black Sheep began another tradition when the two clubs played for the newly inaugurated Beaufort Cup. The two clubs hope to play annually for this new Cup in a fixture that will include every level within their organizations and will be played on a total points basis on the day. In the first Annual Beaufort Cup only the Senior Men and the Senior Women played, but in future organizers hope to include Junior as well as Mini players. Kickers “Mr. Everything”, Colin Chappell came up with the idea of the Beaufort Cup: “Just as the Beaufort Mountain range separates us, the Beaufort Cup will bring us closer together by holding this inter-club, “friendly” event to include every level of the two clubs,” said the former Bath player. “We have been trying to make this work for a number of years and have always fallen afoul of the weather, but today, in spite of a light dusting of snow, we finally held the first fixture. And, it proved a great success.” The Black Sheep arrived with over forty players in their own club bus and soon the women’s team took on the Kicker women in a Seven-a side match. The Black Sheep eventually won five tries to three, 25-15 leaving the Kicker men with a ten point deficit to make up if they hoped to be the first holders of the Cup. The men then took to...
