The 2022 Varisty Cup is just around the corner, “Rugby that Rocks” returns and with so many new youth competitions at play most of the squads have been devestated by losses, the turnover rate far higher than previous editions of the tournament.
We would like to thank everyone who helped us complete this list, of course there are still a few players schools missing so if you have the details of a particular athlete please don’t hesitate to drop me a mail tom@nextgenxv.com
