RNRU PRESIDENTS XV TRAVEL TO SALE RFC FOR FIRST FIXTURE
The Royal Navy Presidents XV will travel to Sale RFC, to face the Wooden Spooners on Weds 20 Mar.
The Presidents side is selected from those players who have showed promise during the Inter-Command games and the successful U23's.
The game will give players the opportunity to perform and develop their skills at the next level. It also a chance for players on the fringe of the Senior XV to get noticed and stake a claim for senior honours in the future.
The team will be coached by the Royal Navy Community Rugby Coaches from Devonport Service Dave Oakley and from US Portsmouth Si Burns, both of whom are very experienced at all levels of Service rugby.
I am sure this game will be a solid test of our skills and mettle, but feel we, as always, will rise to the challenge presented to us.
