Varsity Boys Rugby

The YRAA introduced a new fall sport called “7-Man Rugby” or Rugby Seven. This variation of the traditional sport consists of two seven-minute halves with seven players on the field and five substitutes. Rugby Seven will also appear for the first time in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. The St. Robert’s team had an amazing season, having six wins and one loss in the regular season.
They defeated Stephen Lewis Secondary School in the quarter-finals and qualified to the semi-finals, where their outstanding abilities were shown as they won against Father Bressani. Unfortunately, in the finals, they lost to Sacred Heart. Mr. Scuglia, the team’s coach said, “For our first year, the team was fantastic. If we did not have so many injuries, we may have won the championships”. Go Back
