Hi guys, I’m thokoza also known as TK, I’m from South Africa looking to play very competitive rugby. I have played through high school and have represented two provinces down here in S.A. In the Currie Cup competition. I am 21 year old male. I also looking to persue a career in this game. Any suggestions?? Please help. Really needthis.
Hi mate, the two clubs you should get in contact with if you want to play the highest level possible here, is the ottawa indians or the ottawa irish both teams will be playing in the top division here next season. Don`t know if your currently in the country but unless you are here for three years it is very difficult to crack pro rugby as the best rugby here is only for canadian residents or citizens. I know as I`m here on a short term visa and have been here twice ivè played in the highest level here i possibly can but fom there there is no where to go if you want to be professional.
hope i have helped,
Can you recommend a club to contact given the following.. I am male, 44 years old, have never played RU, and live in Morgan’s Grant (Kanata North)…
Cheers!
ottawa indians train in kanata.
Is there any way to post a map of which clubs train where in the City? I live in Wellington Village and am wondering which of the clubs train closest to me.
I live out in rockland. I get the feeling there isn`t much out this way. Do you know which club would be the closest?
There are many people from Rockland who play for the Ottawa Irish Rugby Club.

Hi there,
Im 19 turning 20 in a few months. And I have a massive love for rugby. I live about 5 minute away from the corner of Montreal road and St.laurent. So I guess more east. Any teams close by?
I hope to hear back soon!
Cheers!
Daniel,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Beacuse you live in the east end the logical club for you to contact would be the Ottawa Irish. They are east end based and train at Col By High School.
Two other possible options are the Bytown Blues or the Ottawa Beavers. Both the Blues and Beavers are more a little more downtown.
Feel free to contact the clubs directly and see which one fits you better.
