History

In 1998, Rugby Canada and the provincial unions agreed to form the Rugby Canada Super League. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league. The league is deemed semi-professional due to the fact that some of the smaller clubs are paying foreign players to play for their side. However, the vast majority of the domestic players actually pay to play for their team. The Prairie Fire is by far the most liberal user of foreign professional players. The current Rugby Canada, the administrative body for rugby union in Canada, has its origins in the Rugby Union of Canada, founded in about 1929. ... // Introduction The Rugby Canada Super League (RCSL or Super League) is a national, semi-professional rugby league in Canada. ...
