– “The Green Machine is still feared in the Caribbean,” says GRFU President Ryan Dey

The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) has shown interest in competing in the Rugby Americas North (RAN) tournament which is scheduled for October 16 & 17 in the Turks & Caicos Islands.
GRFU President Ryan Dey has noted that while the union is awaiting permission from the COVID-19 Task Force, players have been given a fitness regime to which they must adhere until it is safe to return to action.

In an interview with this publication, Dey was asked how the GRFU plans to tackle training, since it has not yet been given permission, and he responded as follows:
“While we’re awaiting the go- ahead from the Task Force to go into tackling, we (have given) the players a fitness regime to work with until such time; (but) we are hoping we get the okay from the Task Force before the new week.”
Dey has said he believes that once the members of the team have ample time to get themselves into that peak fitness and to rehearse the technical skills they have learnt from the team of experienced coaches during training, the Green Machine has a great chance of winning it all once again.
