Capital Selects Men's & Women's Rugby Squad For Stars XV
By Sydney HarmonOn Sunday January 31, 2016 the Capital Rugby Union Selects Men’s and Women’s Rugby Sides take on the Stars XV in the Men’s third representative side match of the year. This will be the Women’s first.
In August, the Men defeated the Empire GU Rugby Selects and then lost to the USA Rugby South in December.
The Stars XV Men and Women have both played one representative 15s match against Life.
The revival of representative side rugby has been seen from Coast to Coast. It has become an excellent way that players can increase their playing in high caliber matches.
