The Trinidad & Tobago Senior Men’s National 7-A-Side Rugby Team departs on Saturday, July 28, 2018, for Barranquilla, Colombia, to defend their podium place at the 2018 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games. Trinidad & Tobago finished third, taking the bronze medal at the last installment of the games in Vera Cruz, Mexico in 2014, so expectations are high.
