COACH of the Guyana’s National Rugby team Lawrence Adonis says that he is not likely to make major changes to the 15s squad that will take on Jamaica here next month, as Rugby Americas North’s tournament continues.Known around the greens as ‘Larry’, the coach contended that considering the fact of the side’s performance during the last game, not many changes will be made.
According to Adonis, “Not many changes (are) anticipated. We think people like Claudius Butts and some of the other guys may be coming in but mostly we will be going with the same squad as you don’t change a winning formula.”
Nonetheless, the coach contended that when they face the Jamaicans next month, they will have to up their game.
“We still got some areas that we’ve got to work with, especially in the line-outs and the malls; we’re still a little weak there because Barbados scored a lot of their points there,” the head coach disclosed.
Coming out of the Barbados match were several positives and they will look to correct those errors made during that match.
“Looking at Barbados and they always come technically sound and so on, I mean we were able to do a lot of the things we practised but coming up against Jamaica, it’s going to be a different kettle of fish because its years now we didn’t face Jamaica, so that’s going to be a different ball game.”
“We still have to prepare ourselves and organise for them (Jamaica).”
