Men's rugby
VRC Rugby has two men's teams, in the BC Rugby Premiership and Division 1. We train Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm and play on Saturdays.
The squad
The 1st XV plays in the BC Rugby Premiership, the top level of men's club rugby in BC. The second team plays Men's Division 1. Everyone trains together on Tuesday and Thursday, and the two teams are picked from the same squad each week.
Selection is on form and availability. A Division 1 player having a good run can move up, and a 1st XV player can drop down to help when numbers are short.
If you're new to the game or coming back after time away, read how new and returning players get started.
