REMINDER: Indoor training at the Concordia Dome this Saturday

Frank — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 15:16:57 +0000

Gentlemen,
As you probably know by now, this Saturday, March 12/11 we will hold
our first training session at the Stinger Dome at Loyola. We’ve
reserved a part of the field for three Saturdays :
March 12/11, 15:00 – 17:00 hrs.
March 19/11, 18:00 – 20:00 hrs.
April 02/11, 15:00 – 17:00 hrs.
Changing room and showers are available in the basement of the main
athletic building.
We expect to run some contact drills and you should be dressed and
protected accordingly. Please bring your gum shields. We will be playing on Astroturf, which means a high possibility of “carpet burns”. Long sleeve shirts and pants recommended.
All players will be asked to contribute $5.00 per training session in
order to offset the high rental cost of this facility.
See you on Saturday.

Weekend Rugby Match Report

Jamie — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:30:00 +0000

The Westmount Ravens kicked off their 2010 season with a road trip to Trois-Rivières to battle Les Braves. With a mostly new player line up from last season the Ravens fought hard for victory but it proved too elusive in the first match of the year. As expected the Braves were an experienced unit who executed the rugby basics well and surged to a two try lead in the fist 20 mins. The Ravens stayed in touch on the score board through the accurate boot of new recruit Julien Marrel who was 100% on the day with 3 from 3 penalty kicks.

The Ravens behind at the half by two tries, came out for the second breathing fire and fought hard to get back in the match. They built pressure and gained territory well resulting in poor discipline from the Braves handing Julien his 3rd penalty and the Braves a yellow card. The Ravens seized on the one man advantage pinning the Braves behind their own 22m line which resulted in two unsuccessful breaches of the Braves try line. Barging prop Karl Frigan was very unlucky not to be awarded a try on the second crossing. Fitness proved to be the difference in the last 15 minutes with the Ravens defence stretched out wide allowing two tries in the last 10 minutes. Final score was 39-9(thereabouts).

Whilst it was a disappointing start to the season many lessons where learned and the Ravens remain confident of a successful 2010 season. Special mention to Kevin, Christophe & Benoit on playing their very first competitive rugby matches. Also congratulations to Man of the Match Tom ‘BC’ Edmeades with an inspiring lead from the front performance and never say die attitude. Special thanks to all the supporters, wives and girlfriends who made the trip out to Trois-Rivières to cheer on the Ravens in their season opener.

Charging into the ruck rugby laws

Jamie — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:42:52 +0000

The IRB sent out an email last week regarding charging into the ruck rules. Please review the law and if you have any questions on the law. We can review on Tuesday.

16.2 JOINING A RUCK
(b) A player joining a ruck must bind on a team-mate or an opponent, using the whole arm. The bind must either precede, or be simultaneous with, contact with any other part of the body of the player joining the ruck.
Sanction: Penalty kick
10.4 DANGEROUS PLAY AND MISCONDUCT
(g) Dangerous charging. A player must not charge or knock down an opponent carrying the ball without trying to grasp that player.
Sanction: Penalty kick
(h) A player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without use of the arms, or without grasping a player.
