With 1 day to go until the Capital Challenge at the Honourable Artillery Company in the heart of the city the London Skolars have released their eagerly anticipated gameday squad. The men from New River take on rugby league giants, Wigan Warriors in what promises to be a fiercely fought friendly.
The Warriors have announced the likes of flying winger Liam Marshall, Romain Navarette, Joe Bretherton, Jake Shorrocks and the man to replace hard-man hooker, Mickey McIlorum whilst the Skolars welcome back the likes of Omari Caro, Michael Bishay, Jy-mel Coleman, Louis Robinson alongside the likes of young gun Elliott Hall, grandson of Australian ‘Team of the Century’ legend, Duncan Hall.
Skolars Head Coach, Jermaine Coleman said:
“Capital Challenge is prestigious event for the club and it’s an honour to welcome the game’s most recognised club, Wigan Warriors to London. We have a tough task on our hands but we have some real professionals in our ranks alongside a good blend of youth, pace and raw talent. I’m excited to see how the boys perform but what I do know is we won’t leave anything on the field and we will represent the club and the city with real pride and honour.”
