Technical Director, Joe Whipple speaking recently, said that Guyana needs “to bring our A game” to the forthcoming Commonwealth Games Rugby Sevens Tournament to be competitive with the other teams in their opening pool.
Whipple offered his assessment of Guyana’s opportunities at the tournament as follows:
“We would need some significant items to go our way to beat, New Zealand who I consider the number 1 seed. They are an experienced team who have drafted in some players from the 15’s All Black side. Anyone going for gold will have to go through them.
We have the opportunity to be competitive with the other teams in our pool, Scotland and Canada. We need some bounces to go our way and we need to bring our “A” game. Both teams have some similarities such as keeping possession for extended periods of time and creating opportunities out of multiple phases. We need to maintain our patience and hard work on defence.
Offensively, there will be some mismatches and we need to find, create and exploit them. Both teams have shown that on occasions, they can compete with the elite in the Sevens. We can’t allow them to get into this comfort zone.
Anyone in our pool making it to the quarterfinals will have the attitude that only a few minutes separate them from the medals. This is all you need to accomplish something special”.
