After months of preparation, Guyana’s National 7’s team, presently in Mexico, will begin their North American Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) 7’s Championship title chase today.

Guyana is placed in Group C of the Championship, playing alongside defending Champions and host (Mexico), St Vincent and the Grenadines and the Cayman Islands.

Having won the tournament six consecutive times (2006 to 2011), Guyana lost to Mexico in 2012 and lack of funding kept the Caribbean’s best 7’s Rugby team out of the competition last year.

Full Squad: Vallon Adams, Avery Corbin, Dwayne Schroeder, Richard Staglon, Ryan Gonsalves (Captain), Leon Greaves, Peabo Hamilton, Ronald Mayers, Kevin McKenzie, Claudius Butts, Isiejah Allen and Patrick King.

Coach: Theodore Henry.
