"First of all, thank you to Britt Waters and the Vikes for making the trip to Langley to continue our annual Spartan 7s. It was a great day of sevens.
"Thank you to the Spartan Faithful who came out in the pouring rain. They were treated to some very entertaining rugby. Today was just a taste of what the Canada West season will bring and Posé Seumanutafa has the team building for a special campaign."
