The Barbados Rugby Football Union (BRFU or Rugby Barbados) has announced the squad of players representing their country in vying for a place in the 2024 Olympic Games Rugby 7s.

According to Head Coach, Joe Whipple, “This has been the most competitive selection for our local players in my time as 7s coach. Also, this will be the first time that our squad is 100% local-based players. Since the Trinidad 15s game, the group has worked and made very good progress. We have an extended two-week training camp before the tournament. The players are excited about the prospect of playing in this tournament. Personally, I am excited about returning to the place where I started playing rugby.
