The thunder and lightning plus torrential downpours forced the deferral of Buccaneers Tag Rugby Finals last Friday on safety concerns. At time of writing, the rescheduled date has not been confirmed but this Thursday or Friday are possible alternatives, although The Bounty is not available on the latter night. Check the Tag Rugby Facebook page for confirmation.
Championship Cup Coupers Troupers v Tag-garian Warriors 7 p.m.
Buccaneers Tag Rugby Summer League finals take place this Friday evening July 19th at Dubarry Park with the first decider getting under way at 7 p.m. Coupers Troopers are going strong as they bid to retain their crown and they are hot favourites to do so. There are a number of new squads this summer and the cleverly monikered RugBK could be dark horses. Game of Goughers and Tag-garian Warriors are also in the running but may have to settle for the Plate final. Meanwhile the Bowl decider looks like a shootout between Transylvanian Typhoons and Baysport Lovely Tags. The presentations of the various awards will be made in The Bounty following the traditional wrap-up BBQ.

Five Buccaneers players have been named in two Ireland World Cup squads. Jack Carty, Robbie Henshaw and Finlay Bealham are included in Joe Schmidt’s extended squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup in Japan after the summer. Meanwhile, Niall Murray and Colm Reilly are in Argentina with the Ireland U-20 squad. Both players were members of the Six Nations grand slam winners. They kick off their campaign with what should be a cracker against England this Tuesday (kick off 7.30 p.m. Irish time). They then face Australia on Saturday (kick off 2.30 p.m. Irish time) and their final pool game is against Italy on the following Wednesday (kick off 2.30 p.m. Irish time). We wish them all the best of luck. You can watch Ireland's matches on the big screens at The Bounty.
