Rugby in Abbotsford is alive and well.

If you’re looking for proof, let us submit Exhibit A – the roster for Canada’s under-17 boys rugby team.

When the national U17 program convened its selection camp at Shawnigan Lake last month, almost 10 per cent of the 63-strong list of invited players hailed from Abbotsford.

Of the six local hopefuls, five of them – Christian Styles, Tyler Barons, Ryan March, Justin Douglas and Jorden Best – were named to the 27-member Team Canada lineup which will travel to Santa Barbara, Calif. for a series of fixtures against the United States’ high school All-Americans between Christmas and New Year’s. Additionally, a sixth Abby player, Brody Quirk, has been picked for a national development team which will tour B.C. in February.
