Bishop’s Gaiter’s weekend wrap

MEN’S RUGBY Gaiters nipped by Piranhas in RSEQ Semifinal

On a frigid Montreal Friday night Bishop's Gaiters men's rugby sophomore, Marceau Bertin (Paris, France/raffles World Academy (Dubai)) seemingly scored early in the second half, but it was taken away due to a knock on earlier in the play. The host ETS Piranhas took full advantage just minutes later and scored what ended up being the lone points of the night. ETS punched their ticket to the RSEQ final with a 7-0 victory.
