Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU) President, Leslie Figaro has expressed concern at the news that the entire Defence Force Rugby Team were involved in a vehicular accident in Tobago last night.

The Defence Force played and defeated Tobago Rugby Football Club 47-30 in a TTRFU Senior Division fixture on Saturday.  On Sunday evening the players were returning from Charlotteville when the accident occurred.

"Defence Force has been working very hard and diligently to rebuild their rugby programme after some tough years.  The thoughts and prayers of the entire fraternity go out to the players and their families at this time."

According to Figaro the TTRFU will do whatever it can to support the Defence Force rugby team.

“The priority is the full recovery of everyone from their injuries."
