The national rugby squad’s preparation for the clash against Barbados in the NACRA 15’s championship on Saturday is in an advanced stage, according to head coach Theodore Henry.
Henry made the comment moments after spearheading the final trial match for the squad on Saturday afternoon at the National Park rugby field.

While he is extremely satisfied with the progress made so far, Henry said there is still an amount of work to be done to reach the desired level of preparedness.
“I am pretty satisfied with the progress seen so far, but there is still some work to sort out. In my opinion we are well on our way to getting into the type of form that will make it difficult for Barbados to beat us,” Henry confidently remarked. He added that everyone has remained injury-free so far, pointing out that that is due mainly to the rigorous preparations they’ve undergone over the past weeks.
According to the coach, for the past weeks the squad went through the conditioning and tactical phase of its preparations, where some deficiencies were identified.
Henry also noted that during this week the squad will be focusing on game play and the general structure on how they will approach Barbados.
“All in all, I am pretty much pleased with the team’s progress and there are no excuses to be made,” Henry said.
While overseas-based players Ronald Mayers and Dillon Downer have joined the squad, the third foreign-based player, Richard Staglon, due to work commitments, will arrive days before the game against Barbados.
