Needing to ensure that the mental deficiencies that became noticeable during the Barbados encounter is not repeated in Saturday’s clash against Trinidad and Tobago, Head Coach of the national rugby squad, Theodore Henry, said, that a major part of the team’s preparations focused on correcting those flaws.
Henry, who along with the team was expected to depart this morning for the Twin Island Republic to take on Trinidad and Tobago in the NACRA Men’s 15’s Championship, was speaking with Kaieteur Sport following the completion of their final practice session yesterday, at the National Park.
According to Henry, the mood in the team is good and the spirits are high, informing that he is optimistic that the players have learned from the past mistakes and have addressed them and it is now about executing what was taught during preparations.
He, however, expressed disappointment that they were not afforded the opportunity to prepare on a field that could have accommodated game simulations since the National Park has been inundated with water due to the inclement weather, thus forcing them to fitness work and light technical and tactical routines.
Henry commended the players for bearing up with the situation and showing admirable commitment despite the disruptive impediment.
“Everybody is healthy and ready to rumble against the Trinidadians come Saturday and we expect to return home as champions,” Henry stated.
The team which is the same will have two practice sessions, one later this afternoon and tomorrow morning, before the game.
The team is: Rondell McArthur, Rickford Cummings, Jason Tyrell, Avery Corbin, Dwayne Schroeder, Dillion Downer, Richard Staglon, Cloyd Prowell, Ryan Gonsalves, Peabo Hamilton, Breon Walks, Elwin Chase, Claudius Butts, Ronald Mayers, Lancelot Adonis, Delroy Gordon, Jacques Archibald, Kevon David, Grantley Williams, Carl Lewis, Christopher Singh and Akeem Fraser, while the Manager is Robin Roberts.
