Sanctioning

SANCTIONING

Sanctioning is the process where Rugby Canada’s accident and general liability insurance coverage is extended to Rugby events outside of league play. The practices and league matches of registered Clubs are the only competitions considered sanctioned and insured by default when all athletes, team management and staff and all participants (volunteers, organising committee/board of directors) are registered within the current membership year.


Any other event may seek sanctioning by an authorised representative of a member organisation and thus Rugby Canada Insurance can be extended by following the relevant application instructions.

event/tour sanctioning

In administering and managing rugby in Canada, sanctioning is the formal approval process used to ensure that rugby-related activities such as training sessions, matches, tournaments, tours, and special events comply with the regulations and by-laws of Rugby Canada, the applicable Provincial Union(s) and World Rugby.  


The following events require a sanctioning application to access Rugby Canada’s accident and general liability insurance coverage:


Exhibition games: any game organised between two Clubs that is not part of the official league schedule.

Try Rugby: a come and try event hosted by a Club or organisation.

Rugby camp: a camp or program organised by a Club or organisation.

Tournament: any tournament organised by a Club or organisation that is not part of the official league schedule.

Round 5 match summary

A thrilling encounter saw the Roos come from behind to secure a crucial 1 point victory. Down by 12 points at halftime, captain Jake Morrison sparked the comeback with a brilliant individual goal in the late in the 3rd quarter. Young gun winger Tommy Chen sealed the win with a spectacular off-the-ground finish in the dying minutes. The defensive effort from Mike Stevens and Danny Walsh was outstanding, making crucial tackles when it mattered most.
