Sports Hydrant Pacific Islanders training hard 

The 2008 Sports Hydrant Pacific Islanders have trained strongly as they prepare for their Test with England on Saturday.  Initial training was held at Brunel University however on Tuesday they moved to the beautiful surroundings of Harrow School.

There, under slate grey skies they have been running through training drills, rehearsing backline moves, packing down scrums and practicing line outs under the sage eyes of their coaching staff.

 

   Forwards mentor Peter Fatialofa was ecstatic at the progress of his charges:  “The boys have gelled together well… we have a simple game plan that will rely on our forwards winning their fair share of possession. “I am confident that the combination we decide upon will do the business and make our Pacific Island families back home very proud.”  

The Sports Hydrant Pacific Islanders team for the Test against England will be named Wednesday 5^th November in the East India club before the squad moves to Westminster and a meeting with the UK Sports Minister.
