The Prairie Fire are a Canadian Rugby Union team based in Regina, Saskatchewan. The team plays in the Rugby Canada Super League and draws very few of its players from the Saskatchewan Rugby Union, one of fourteen Rugby Unions that have rep teams in the RCSL.
The Prairie Fire play their "home" games at Regina Rugby Park in Regina.
The Prairie Fire were Western Champions for the 2005 & 2006 seasons but both times came up short in the Super League Final. They finally won the MacTier Cup in 2007 defeating the Niagara Thunder 28-12. Only 3 out of the first 9 seasons of the League has a team outside of B.C. been the Western Champion.
History
In 1998, Rugby Canada and the provincial unions agreed to form the Rugby Canada Super League. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league. The league is deemed semi-professional due to the fact that some of the smaller clubs are paying foreign players to play for their side. However, the vast majority of the domestic players actually pay to play for their team. The Prairie Fire is by far the most liberal user of foreign professional players.
