22nd October 2009 : IRB Americas Rugby Championship 2009Argentina Jaguars were crowned the inaugural Americas Rugby Championship winners after a comfortable 35-11 defeat of British Columbia's Bears in the final at Fletcher's Field in Markham on Saturday.  The defeat was the Canadian provincial side's first loss in the new Championship after they had gone through the round robin stage with three other provincial sides unbeaten and then overcome Ontario Blues in the semi finals. Nathan Hirayama had scored all of the Bears' points in their 12-8 semi final win over the Ontario Blues and the Canadian international fly half did the same against the Jaguars with a try and two penalties in With Argentine sides renowned for their forward strength, it was perhaps surprising that the Bears elected to take them on up front rather than work around this advantage and for the first half the tactic appeared to work. Building for the future
This was a sentiment echoed by Mark Egan, the IRB's Head of Development and Performance who was at Fletcher's Fields to witness the conclusion of the inaugural Americas Rugby Championship.

This victory came after a win in a Seven-a-side match against the visiting civil servants from England, seven tries to five, on Tuesday at the Comprehensive Secondary School Ground.  A player with HMS Iron Duke gets rocked following a devastating tackle from a St Lucian player during Tuesday’s rugby game at the Corinth Playing Field in St. Lucia.
The sailors went ahead early in the match by scoring three points from a penalty which only served to spur on the St Lucia team who quickly respond with a try (five points) and conversion (two points) of their own. At the end of the first half, St Lucia was leading 36 points to 10, having scored five tries, four conversions and one penalty against the sailor’s one try, one conversion and one penalty. Scoring was less prolific in the second half where St Lucia scored only one try and one conversion, while HMS Iron Duke was able to add only one more try to their tally. Colvis Samuels of St Lucia led the scoring for the local team with 13 points through five conversions and one penalty, while Jerry Charles and Bert Jean scored two tries each. Cliffe Reynolds and Akim Herbert chipped in with one try apiece to give St Lucia the win. 22nd October 2009 : About North America Caribbean Rugby Association “NACRA”Some people are still confused about the unfortunately named 'NACRA' - this piece from their web page should help:  From left: Miguel Carner (Treasurer), Pearse Higgins (Vice President), Bob Latham (President), George Nicholson (Committee Member), Dennis Dwyer (Secretary).

"The ARC tournament is so promising for Rugby in North America," said Bears coach Mike James afterwards. "For us Argentina is a model of excellence. Whenever we play a side from Argentina it is a good reality check for Rugby in Canada and a great example of where we need to and can get to as a country."
