BC Rugby is pleased to announce three BC Bears Talent Identification and Development Sessions for U19 male athletes (birth year 2004-2005) taking place in February and March.

BC Rugby is looking to identify all eligible athletes born in 2004 and 2005 for the 2023 U19 Canadian Rugby Championships.

“These Talent ID and Development sessions are key opportunities for the Bears U19 management to identify and connect with all those athletes that are keen to represent BC Rugby this summer at the Canadian Rugby Championships and put themselves forward for future National U20 selections.” BC Rugby Technical Director John Tait
