This past weekend, BC’s men’s rugby team competed in the Collegiate Rugby Championship. The CRC gathers the best collegiate rugby 7s teams to compete for the national title. Many of the teams that play in the tournament are varsity level, while others, like BC, compete at the club level during the regular season.
For our readers that are unfamiliar with rugby, 7s is a faster pace game with 7 players a side instead of 15, and the matches are divided into two 7 minute halves, instead of two 40 minute halves. To score in rugby, a player must ‘touch the ball’ down over the ‘try’ line - similar to the end zone in football.
