Rugby Canada resurrects Pacific Pride program, looking to develop young talent Globe_Sports
The academy program will also support the sevens side, with some members training with the senior men’s sevens squad on a weekly basis.
A head coach will be appointed, with Jones working with both players and coaches once his World Cup duties are over later this year.Rugby Canada is funding the program via existing centralization budget allocations. Some two dozen players of the 32 to 34 who were centralized and training under Jones have dispersed after signing MLR contracts. Those remaining have been training with the sevens side.
“We have heard consistently over the last few years from our rugby community about the importance and value an academy program brought to our sport,” Rugby Canada chairman Tim Powers said in a statement. “We listened and agreed. The return of the Pacific Pride academy will be key as we work to improve our world rankings in the coming years.”The original Pacific Pride program was run by Rugby Canada and the Commonwealth Centre for Sport Development.
