“We Stand on Guard for Thee”

Rugby Canada and the Dog River Howlers Rugby Club are participating in a joint fundraising program to help the National Senior Men’s Team raise funds to offset their costs to participate in the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
“We Stand on Guard for Thee” is based on the concept that players will “stand on guard” for the nation’s rugby community and all Canadians as they represent Canada at the World Cup games. We in turn will “stand on guard” and show our support for their tireless efforts to be competitive on the world stage.  
 You can choose the player you wish to support with your purchase of a “We Stand on Guard for Thee”  item. Simply note the player on your order form and net proceeds from the sale of the item will support that person Please take a minute to check out their webpage and show Aaron Carpenter – member of Brantford Harlequins Rugby Club – your support.
