International 15-a-Side rugby makes a return this July with the UAE National side making a trip to Pakistan to play two tests in Lahore.
UAE Head Coach, Apollo Perelini, has picked eleven (11) Dubai Exiles to board the plane and represent this great nation on the international stage.
Lukas Waddington, Dave Gairn, Moeneeb Galant, Pieter Kilian, Jaen Botes, Matt Mills, Epeli Davetawalu, Carel Thomas, Haydn Palmer along with Exiles Under 19s Tadhg Nash and Tayne Stannard.
Exiles‘ back row stalwart Matt Mills has the honour of being the tour captain.
Teenager Tadhg Nash, has been with the Exiles since 2013 when he joined the club as an 8 year old. He has already won the Emirates Dubai 7s and represented the UAE at Under 18 level in Nepal earlier in the season.
Both Tadhg and Tayne will be making their full, senior, international debuts in Lahore in July.
The two test matches with Pakistan will be played on the 4th and 8th of July – there’s sure to be some fireworks!
Good luck to everyone making the trip and representing UAE RUGBY – it goes without saying that we’re all incredibly proud of you!
