Channel Islands face 'physical' Poland test

The Channel Islands rugby team play their second ever game this weekend - and this time in Jersey.

The joint Jersey and Guernsey team debuted last summer at Footes Lane with a 66-28 victory over Sweden.

It'll be a tougher test this time, with Poland the opposition at CoinShares Park.

The joint-island side will be co-captained by Scott van Breda and Dom Rice for the Gallagher Granite trophy clash.

Myles Landick, Jersey's Director of Rugby, said:

"What a unique opportunity. There are lots of players that don't get a chance to play international rugby, or against international sides, and players from Jersey and Guernsey are getting to do that.

"(Poland) will definitely be physical! They've got a lot of confidence, they've just been promoted to the next tier of international rugby, which is a massive step up on the international scene so that's going to be a huge challenge for us, but it's a challenge the guys are relishing."

Kick-off is at 3pm.
