BRAMPTON RFC PLACES 3 ON NATIONAL LONG LIST
9 January 08
Congratulations
to Brampton RFC's Ryan Smith, Aaron Abrams and Jordan
Wilson-Ross for their inclusion on the National Senior Men's Team Long
list. This list allows current and potential members of the Canadian
Senior Men's team an idea of where they rate among players at their own
position.
Based on a number of measurements, the list
provides a depth chart at each position from which selectors and coaches
can create long term and short term plans for the various teams run by
Rugby Canada.
This list is revised quarterly, and in May, prior to the start of the
Barclays Churchill Cup, the next list will be made public.
The long list gives both players and coaches an idea of where
they fit into the national playing landscape
from U20 players, to the North America Four, right up to the senior men’s team.
