Dragons Colin Charvis will head to Tonga this week to take part in the Tonga Coronation of King George Tupou V Rugby Match on Thursday 31st July 2008.
The match will attract 15 players from Tonga and 15 International World-players from England, Scotland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand as part of the Tonga Coronation of King George Tupou V which includes three coronation balls, a military parade, traditional dancing, a fireworks display and an open-air concert.
The Dragons contact and defence skills coach and player is thrilled at the opportunity to take part in the event. Colin said:
“I’m thoroughly enjoying being back at the Dragons and having the opportunity to train as well as to pass on my experience to the other players. I’m also thrilled that I have been offered the chance to go to Tonga and play a very high standard of game and gauge where I am physically ahead of the season.
“The opportunity has come at a perfect time and I am able to go away and prove my fitness. I would love to continue playing for the region next season as well as fulfilling a coaching role.”
Ends.
