Carabins Break Through: Montréal Defeats McGill 42-37 to Reach the RSEQ Final
The Université de Montréal Carabins finally dared to win. In a thrilling semifinal at McGill, they edged the Redbirds 42-37 after a spectacular duel of six tries per side, securing their place in the RSEQ final and almost guaranteeing a berth at Nationals.
The RSEQ semifinal between the McGill Redbirds and the Université de Montréal Carabins will be remembered as one of the most intense matches of the season. Both sides knew that victory would almost certainly mean a ticket to the national championship, and they played with that urgency from the very start.
McGill made a dream start, scoring two early tries through fast, structured rugby that combined forwards and backs seamlessly. The home crowd roared as the Redbirds took control of the game and looked set to dominate.
But that early shock only awakened Montréal. The Carabins responded with courage, pace, and a newfound belief. Their attacks grew sharper with each phase, and try after try, they fought their way back into contention. By halftime, it was clear that something had changed in their mindset — Montréal was no longer playing to compete; they were playing to win.
The second half unfolded as a back-and-forth spectacle, with six tries apiece by the end of the game. The difference came from the boot: penalties and conversions that Montréal executed with greater accuracy under pressure.
Ten minutes from time, Axel Adjahi broke through McGill’s defense like a force of nature, scoring the try that silenced the stands. McGill pushed hard in the final moments, kicking strategically and attacking in waves, but Montréal’s discipline and composure saw them through.
When the whistle blew, the scoreboard read 42-37 for Montréal. McGill played a strong, brave match — but Montréal played better. This win was more than a victory; it was a breakthrough. The Carabins finally dared to win.
