Rugby Canada holds meetings with World Rugby
Canada’s fourth-place finish at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in November came with a question.
“If we can invest in women’s rugby, in North American rugby, we can truly be powerhouses in the game,” she added.“If there is investment, we are close to something. But if there is nothing, we are nowhere,” said the French-born coach, who now calls Quebec City home.On Tuesday in Los Angeles, Rugby Canada is presenting its high-performance plans to World Rugby with a special focus on the women’s program.
In the seven tournaments that followed, they never made it out of the pool stage with a combined 4-19-2 record. And the Canadian men, currently sandwiched between Chile and Hong Kong at No. 23 in the rankings, failed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup. Unlike England and France, Canada does not have an annual Six Nations tournament that guarantees test matches — and revenue.
Canada took part in the women’s Pacific Four Series last summer. World Rugby has also announced plans for the WXV, a new three-tier annual global competition that it says “will revolutionize the women’s international rugby landscape, providing for the first time a meaningful pathway for all unions and a competitive springboard towards an expanded 16-team Rugby World Cup in 2025.”
The Canadian 15s players get match fees for playing internationally and “some basic expenses” while in camp. The men and women get the same amount.“No one’s going to get rich,” he added. “It’s not a full professional contract like you might find like in a Six Nations or [Southern Hemisphere] Rugby Championship country. But it is a level of financial recognition for the compromises and sacrifices.
“We need some time to work on those [resources] … I think the players are in a position where they recognize that. And now they’ve got a voice and we’re listening to them. And they’re able to listen to the organization.”
