BAHAMAS RUGBY

UNION ACTION

ON Saturday, the Bahamas Rugby Union will play their final game of the regular season before going into the Heineken Cup Play-offs next weekend.

Freeport run out winners after a riveting 41-39 win over Baillou last week in what many are calling the most exciting game of the season. Buccaneers have a tenuous grip on second place and lie one point ahead of Baillou.

However, all the focus is at the bottom of the table this weekend as Baillou take on Cuckoos to decide who has to travel to Freeport (hence the $2,000) for the play-off game.

Baillou go into this in a considerably stronger position, especially having gained two bonus points last weekend, though Cuckoos have the opportunity to overtake them, but will need a very big win to do so.
