Rugby Canada has submitted a bid to hold a major international competition in Vancouver – a process that was co-chaired by 2010 Winter Olympics head John Furlong.

Mr. Furlong – who has made few public appearances since he was accused of assaulting students when he was a physical-education teacher in a small B.C. community four decades ago – called it an honour to work on the bid and again help elevate Vancouver and Canada onto the world sporting stage.
