USA Rugby South vs. Cayman Rugby
The Rugby Americas North Men’s 15s Championship will be held on Saturday, July 7 at 1 pm at Old White Rugby Facility in Atlanta, GA. With the USA Rugby South Panthers and Cayman Rugby beating Bermuda, the winner of this match will win the title.
A note about this year’s Championship Division:
On June 23rd the Cayman Islands versus Trinidad & Tobago match was canceled by Trinidad & Tobago and was unable to be rescheduled. Thus the matches between Trinidad & Tobago and Bermuda, and Trinidad & Tobago and USA South are now deemed not to form part of the 2018 RAN Senior Men’s 15’s Championship Division and hence have been removed from the Championship Division standings.
