Members of the West Indies rugby team arrived in Vancouver, Canada last evening to begin a four-day camp today with the Canadian national team before heading to Hong Kong on March 22 for the IRB World Rugby Sevens.

Me and Dan reached Vancouver safely. We arrived in at about 10:30 last night which probably was 1:30am there. The weather is partly cloudy and rainy, about 5 degrees.
Training is going to be very interesting. Coldest weather on record for me, not Dan though.
At about 10am this morning, we're going to take the ferry over to Victoria Island and then on to The University Of Victoria (UVIC)where we'll be staying and training. Looking forward to that because it's said that there will be some great whale sightings.
Hope all is well on the tropic side. We'll keep you'll posted when we get into UVIC. - Mico

In Canada, where they are the guests of Rugby Canada Sevens, they will train with the Canadians and play a number of practice matches, under the watchful eyes of head coach Joe Whipple, manager Curtis Nero and physiotherapist, Martin Varga. This encampment follows a one week camp in Barbados late last month.

The West Indies are one of the newest teams, playing in the Hong Kong Sevens for the first time, with their first match of the tournament being against Kenya at the Hong Kong Stadium on the opening day, March 27.
