RGC 1404 youngsters looking to shine against Georgia in biggest game of their careers to date
In selecting his preliminary squad for this Saturdays game against Georgia, RGC 1404 Head Coach Chris Horsman has very much given youth it's head with no fewer than seven of this years Under 18 squad being included as well as a further four players under the age of 20.
The side which will be skippered by Kelvin Davies will be looking to build upon their highly encouraging performance against Sale Jets two weeks ago when they lost by 26-12. However they are under no illusions as to the scale of the task facing them against a Georgian side that narrowly defeated a Welsh Premiership Select Team on Tuesday night.
Horsman who, together with assistant coach Damian McGrath, travelled to Bridgend to watch the Georgian's most recent game commented after announcing the squad,
'Playing Georgia on Saturday night will by some way be our most challenging test of the season thus far. Not only is it a massive game for RGC 1404 but it is also a huge opportunity to all those selected to play to show exactly how far they have progressed thus far.
Selecting the squad was hugely difficult for myself and Damian such is the strength in depth that we are fortunate to have and there are a number of players who can consider themselves very unlucky not to be playing on Saturday evening.
All those involved are very much looking forward to the game and we are hopeful of having a large home crowd there behind us.'
