players are been given the opportunity to display

their wares at the regional level."We  strongly

considered selecting our foreign based players,

including two UK born players(Bevon Armitage and David

Charles), but on this occasion we opted to take a more

development approach ahead of next year's IRB Rugby

World Cup qualifiers".

rugby players will be considered for the Nawira 7s

rugby championship scheduled for November this year in

Bahamas and next years 2011 15s Rugby World Cup

confidence that the approach adopted by the TTRFU

have to put the youngsters to the test".
