Rugby: French pre-season friendly for Jersey Reds

The Championship club confirmed their second summer friendly this morning, with the new-look squad being handed a trip to Arzon, Britanny on 5 August.

The fixture will be followed by the already-scheduled home game against National One side Coventry on 12 August.

‘I don’t think you will ever go to France and have an easy ride,’ said head coach Harvey Biljon. ‘It will be a tough game against a team that players have left Jersey for in the past, so I’m sure it’s going to be great.’

Hooker Martin Garcia-Veiga left St Peter for Vannes in 2016.
