Weekly Video Double

Two videos for the price of none, it's the ...


Not much analysis today, as it is a hectic week at the CUR Online World Headquarters, but we'll still show you a couple of videos worth checking out:

First up:

SFU vs. Seattle




Aside from the lazy spread defence, and the children's mini-soccer field that Seattle calls home, this video is another fairly good short clip.

Also, if you take a gander at the creator of the video on the right hand side of the page, you'd know a little known fact about him is that he starred in this movie and was a stunt double for this fellow on this video. (Editor's Note: NSFW language)

Second helping:

A new clip from the recently completed Truro 7's!

The eventual champion Ottawa Irish RFC vs. St. Francis Xavier University



There's a big hit at about the 3 second mark, which the crowd loves, but you wouldn't know it from the guy in the background's inane ramblings blocking out the sound while trying to pick up a girl. (Editor's Note: Talk to Dr. Dave Moonlight, he'll help you with your off-the-field game). All in all, a fairly competent goal-line stand by the X-Men, with a solid clearance kick. Looked like it was a fun 2008 edition of the event.

That's it, that's all...


Dalai Lama!

The Weekend That Was

A tough weekend for University Rugby programs in BC.

UVIC had the weekend off.

UBC loses their first game of the season to Cowichan in the Piggie Dome.

SFU loses a tough one to Langley, with tempers flaring at the end.

Next up for the Clan in their attempt to push their way up in the standings are the United Rugby Club, their arch-rivals, and a team SFU should beat.

UBC hosts Seattle in what will be a dog-fight for top-two placing in the BC First Division. They also have Cal-Berkley on Wednesday which should be interesting.

UVIC & Castaway-Wanderers at Wallace Field in Victoria is a game both sides need to win if they want a home playoff game. Currently, both clubs have a 4 and 3 record.

However none of this matters much, as our main event today is UNBC @ Trollsfest:

Mount Royal College Wildcats 5
vs.
UNBC 3

U of Lethbridge Trolls 12
vs.
UNBC 5

U of Calgary Dinos 0 (forfeit)
vs.
UNBC 5

The long journey was worth it for the Wolves in the forest green trim. This is one of the few occasions teams in Western Canada have to match up against each other, and UNBC has come a long way from the days of losing by 40-odd points to the prairie teams.

Despite the fact that the team had bus troubles, and were driving through one of the most treacherous stretches of high-way in Canada, UNBC showed well.

As a result, Mount Royal College can now lay claim to being the best tier-II program in Western Canada, with UNBC a close second.

Congrats to both the Mount Royal and UNBC.
