Despite injury concerns and the inclement weather, the national 15s rugby squad is forging ahead with their preparations for their NACRA senior men’s Southern Caribbean Championship away game versus Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday.

During yesterday’s practice session at the waterlogged National Park rugby field involving the 22-man national team, the ruggers worked on offensive and defensive rucks as well as their set plays that hampered them during their 19-17 comeback win against Barbados last week at the Providence National Stadium.

“We are pretty banged up but we are remaining positive ahead of the Trinidad game,” said captain Ryan Gonsalves who
