The old adage suggests that there’s no substitute for speed in rugby and Trinity Rugby director Mick Snowden is hoping that’s the case this season.

Trinity will field an experienced and fast first XV outfit in this year’s CAS competition and the early indicators all look fairly positive.

“We’re looking alright at this stage, we’ve won our first three trials which has been nice. We knocked off St Pat’s, Cranbrook and Oakhill, so it’s been a pretty tidy start to the year to be honest,” Snowden told Rugby News.
