The annual event, for players outside of the Jersey RFC and Guernsey RFC first-team squads, is sure to be a tough match.
‘I’m pleased with the final squad,’ said White.
‘We’ve had some very productive training sessions and it has been a great experience working with players from all the clubs on the Island.
Thanks must go to those players who supported the Inter-Insular but just missed out on selection.’ White, helped by Ian Anderson, expects Guernsey to have a strong pack and to keep the game fairly tight.
‘But, I think our front five can match Guernsey’s and provide a good platform for our quick backs.
‘We have a great player in Ivan Murphy at No 8 and he will have his own United Banks’ half-backs Tim de Gruchy and Jimmy McCormack playing alongside him which should bring continuity to the forwards and backs.’ Shawn Quéripel, also of Banks, was a popular choice as captain.
Emmeraude Ferries helped make the trip possible with their support of the Jersey Rugby Association.
The match, on the new pitch at Foote’s Lane, kicks-off at 12.30.
