GRFU names 23-man squad for NACRA 15s in B/dos

The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU)  has released the names of its players to kick start their NACRA 15s championship campaign on May 17 in Barbados.

The local ruggers who were last year’s Southern Zone runner up to Trinidad and Tobago will lock horns with the host at the Garrison Savannah in St. Michael.

Once Guyana beats Barbados, the national rugby team will then play last season’s Trinidad and Tobago in Guyana on June 17 in what will be considered as the final.
