“The coaching team is satisfied with the level of the training so far, but there is a lot more work to put in, not only for this game, but for the game to follow. During the upcoming week we will be working on game strategy, pattern of play and strengthening of our set pieces. We are expecting this game to be a tough one because Barbados will be coming here knowing that they drew with us last year, but I think we will come out with a victory never the less.”
President of the GRFU Peter Green in his comments said, “I am pleased with the selection of the national squad and confident that Barbados will succumb as we are looking to secure a championship on home soil. I urge all Guyanese to come out in green and support their team, we will win this championship.”
The players are adequately prepared through the rigorous Rugby Skills Fitness Training Programme and the GRFU is confident that the National Squad will dominate. Be prepared for an exhilarating match.
