Local rugby is on pause this weekend because of the Canada 7s taking place in Vancouver. But we still have updates, kudos, and ‘save the dates’ aplenty here at JBAA.
First, a kind reminder that we return to MacDonald Park next weekend when we host the UBCOB Ravens in what should be a brutal encounter (brutal in a good way, of course). Be there.

The next time you see him, please pass on massive congratulations to JBAA head coach Sean White, who, in addition to coaching the BC NextGen 7s at the Vancouver Invitational Sevens this week, has been named as an assistant coach for the National Senior Men’s 7s team at the Canada 7s.
