Guyana’s Men’s National Fifteens side placed 2nd in the Caribbean to Trinidad & Tobago in the NAWIRA 2011 RWC 15s Qualifier held in Cayman in April.
Guyana’s Men’s national U19 team, having held the Caribbean U19 Championships for three previous years in succession, placed fourth in last year’s Qualifying Championship in Barbados.
