'Ikale Tahi Name Squad To Face Georgia

The ‘Ikale Tahi team selected to play Georgia in Tbilisi at 5:00pm on the 8th of November has been selected, and promises to be a strong contender against the Europeans.

A solid mix of experience, with players skilled in both European match play, and ITM Cup squads from New Zealand, the ‘Ikale Tahi squad will be in a good position to build and develop as it heads not only into this test series, but also looks forward to the Rugby World Cup, 2015.
