RFCLA is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for this crucial match. Head Coach Steve Hoiles emphasized the importance of the game, stating, “We are ready, and we are really well prepared this week for another Western Conference game. It's obviously a really important game for us based on the position we've put ourselves in.”
One of the standout stories for RFCLA this week is the return of Jurie Van Vuuren, who will make his first start of the season after three weeks out of the side.
“Jurie has trained really well and earned his spot in the side,” said Hoiles. “He brings to the team a few key attributes that we have been lacking. He’s a very physical and confrontational type of player—and we need that.”
Van Vuuren’s return couldn’t come at a better time, as RFCLA looks to address areas that have hindered their campaign so far. “Where I've been really disappointed is in a couple of key areas, and it’s really clear on the areas we have to fix—it's our discipline and our maul defense,” Hoiles continued. “We have been committing a lot of silly penalties, which has put our maul defense under pressure.”
Despite early-season frustrations, Hoiles is confident in the squad’s growth and focus leading into Saturday night. “Overall, our defense has been good, our attack has been working—where we have been hurting ourselves is on the penalty count and yellow cards.”
Saturday’s match isn’t just about rugby—it’s about bringing the community together for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed party! Fans can expect an unforgettable experience featuring a live band, halftime entertainment, and giveaways throughout the night.
