Wanderers online and in action!
The Wanderers were featured on “The Sport of Rugby” series on WatchMojo.com, with the following filmed at our practices and game vs. Quebec City during the Summer 2011 season. They have posted a couple of videos so far, which have been embedded below. If any additional videos are published, I’ll be including them here and archiving them in the Resources > Media section of the Wanderers website.
Just sit back and watch Stephan Chapheau tell it like it is…

Wanderers to be featured online!
Tuesdays practice is a very important one for the club.
WatchMojo.com has asked us to participate in a video discussing the origins of rugby and giving a demonstration of how the game is played. For this to be a success we need as many guys out to practice as possible. So whether you’re a current player, old boy or junior, injured or not registered this season, please make every effort to be out at practice on Tuesday.
This is great opportunity to get some good publicity for our club. We will be bringing both sets of jerseys on Tuesday but please wear your Wanderers shorts and socks and any other club paraphernalia that you have. Hopefully we’ll see all of you on Tuesday, please spread the word.

Week 4 – Ottawa Indians
This Saturday brings the Ottawa Indians to Montreal to face the Wanderers. All players, both Prems and Reserves, are to be at the Douglas for 11:30am to help with the field setup and preparations. (Field “R1″ – The game field)
Reserves kick off at 1:30pm, Prems kick off at 3:00pm.
As this is our first home game at the Douglas, we need to paint the lines. Anger, Sherpa and a couple of others will be there at around 9:30 to get things started, but many hands make light work, so if you’re free, you’re more than welcome to come down and help out.
Check your email for the final lineup from Coach Beemer, and we’ll see you on Saturday.
