Roberts commented on the squad and forthcoming tour saying, “Having been lucky enough to tour South Africa previously when Yorkshire Youth visited the country, I see it as a great opportunity for all the lads who have been selected to represent their country.”
He added, “I see it as just reward for the commitment and hard work the players have shown for their respective clubs and counties. It’s a chance of a lifetime for these young men and I’m proud to be part of their achievement with BARLA.”
Dave continued, “All these players are from the top drawer and oozing with class. Some will go on to enjoy a career in the pro game, for those who remain in the amateur ranks, I see it as just the start of their BARLA international career.”
Dave also commented on his management team saying, I’ve got a great bunch of blokes to work with. Colin (Phillips) has done some tremendous work with Thatto Heath and Lancashire, while Mark (Robb) is very experienced in youth rugby and was with Cumbria under 19’s county side. And Garry’s (Schofield) experience both on and off the field in a touring environment, will benefit us all.
Roberts has just a couple more appointments to make to complete his management team and he’s currently on the look out for a physio and a PRO person, on this he commented, “I need a top class physio and a PRO to complete the touring party. I’ve one or two people in mind but as yet I haven’t made a decision and I’m still open minded on the appointments.”
