THE CANADIAN RUGBY HONG HONG 7’S & OLYMPIC FUND is inviting a select number of sponsors from the Canadian rugby  community to join us in our Hong Kong 7’s Box.

With a sold out crowd of 60 attendees, the Canadian Rugby Foundation launched the first of an annual series of events to raise endowment funds for the Captains’ Fund.

Founded four years ago, the Colette McAuley Award (CMA) recognizes women's rugby players who embody the sport and give back to it in the true spirit of the game.
 
For the fourth year in a row, the CMA committee - including its namesake - has been tasked with having to cull a very high-minded list of nominees down to a single recipient.
