Forward to join Cyprus squad

East London 1st XV forward Rob Yiannakou has been called into the Cyprus national squad for their Rugby Europe Conference international in Serbia on April 28.
It is a remarkable achievement for the 18-year-old second row who has been East London’s young player of the year for the past two seasons. It is the youngster's ability to play in a number of positions amongst the forwards that has attracted the Cyprus selectors.
Yiannakou (pictured) is one of four new caps in the Cyprus squad, nicknamed the Moufflons, a horned sheep which is the country’s national animal.
Rob said: “It is a great honour to be called up and was totally out of the blue. I’m looking forward to going to Belgrade with the squad and if selected, doing myself and East London proud.”
