The Bermuda Rugby National Team should be making all the headlines for the Sport as they are set to play in the 2013 NACRA Caribbean Championships against Cayman Islands.
The 2013 NACRA Caribbean Championships fixture (dubbed BIG GAME 3) which is scheduled for June 1st at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex in George Town, Grand Cayman.
The Cayman Islands National XV’s rugby team is set the Squad has been tweaked from that which narrowly lost out to USA Rugby South by 2 points in Atlanta, with National XV’s captain Ben McDonald re-joining the squad as well as the introduction of Joel Clark, Michael Wilson and Saviri Tabuaniwere.
After Cayman’s away loss to USA Rugby South, the Americans travelled to Bermuda on May 18th and piled 24 points on the Bermudians in stark contrast to their encounter against Cayman where they could not find their way to the Try line. The USA South’s saving grace against Cayman in the flood like conditions being the boot of penalty kicker Lucas Baistrocchi who scored all of the USA’s 9 points.
Cayman will be looking to overturn their last encounter against Bermuda where Cayman lost 7-3 in Bermuda and whilst there is no chance of progression in this year’s NACRA Championships with both Bermuda and Cayman having lost to USA Rugby South (who now await now await the winner of the Southern Caribbean zone, which could be either Guyana, Barbados or Trinidad and Tobago) both Cayman and Bermuda will be fighting against relegation in their clash.
