2006 Men’s Rugby Preview
Matt Studley and Adam Barrette to captain young Gaiters squad

Sept. 14, 2006 – A year after finishing 6-2 before falling to the Concordia Stingers in the QSSF semi-finals, Bill Robson’s men’s rugby squad is cautiously optimistic heading into the 2006 season.

“We’ve got a good team,” said the Gaiters coach, “We’re young but we’re talented and we’re coming together and getting better every week.”

While McGill and Concordia appear to be the teams to beat in the conference, Robson said he expects his team to compete for the playoffs and possibly the conference title.

“To be honest I’m not sure what to expect. But after losing to Concordia last year I feel that our team is much more focused and has a better understanding of what it takes to win in the postseason. We’ve got a tough schedule but if we can stay healthy we should have a very good team.”
