History
[edit]The Vancouver Rogues were originally established in 2002 and was the first openly gay and inclusive rugby team in Canada. The original team ran for 10 years before dissolving. [4] In 2021 the team was revived to continue where the original team left off and to promote inclusiveness in the sport. [5][6] The Team has partnered with the Meraloma Rugby Club and is registered as their 2nd team in their 3rd Division men's team. [7]
