BUY HIGHLANDERS TICKETS VS. GERMANY
The Vancouver Highlanders, Canada’s only professional Rugby team, will take on the Black Eagles at 5:00pm PST having come off impressive doubleheader victories against the Canada Selects and Barbados National Team in front of 1,025 eager fans.
“The Vancouver Highlanders are very excited to host these two BC Bears matches as an opener for our game against Germany. A lot of our players are products of the BC Bears from U14 all the way up to the Senior Men’s Bears squad. Providing this opportunity to showcase the next generation of players further strengthens our commitment from Club to province and being an aspirational platform for these young players.” Vancouver Highlanders Co-Founder Curry Hitchborn
While the Highlanders are represented by skilled players from eight countries, the team includes a number of top performers from Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island clubs.
Capacity is limited for the July 20 fixture against Rugby Germany, and fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early here.
Fans can expect food trucks, a beer garden and a lively atmosphere as the Highlanders aim to make it three victories from three.
