Meanwhile, recently elected President Peter Green addressed the players following a practice game that was played on Saturday where he stated that he wanted to ensure that he is a serving a very useful term and that the players have to realize that they are Guyanese first and foremost, playing for their country, team and then themselves.
He noted that rugby has fallen behind and his mission is to push the sport back into the spotlight.
Green told the players that they have to use a combination of skills and knowledge to play the game and the coaches and team members must function as a unit and communicate with each other.
