Ninth-place finish from women’s team and failed to meet expectations

“This team didn’t perform to its capabilities. There’s no question,” Vansen said, adding: “We have to look at the role that the complaint and the investigation and everything that happened there – how that played into this.”

Late last November, the Canadian women’s team complained to Rugby Canada, describing a training environment tainted by, they said, psychological abuse, harassment and bullying. The complaint led Rugby Canada to put Tait on administrative leave and begin mediation. When that failed, it called an independent investigation, which found that Tait had not violated the policies in place. Rugby Canada, however, said “it would not be viable” for him to continue.

Vansen said he is confident that with Tait and Cudmore gone, Rugby Canada will not need to remove any more people.
