Barbados delivered a dominant performance to rout Guyana 43-5 in a Rugby Americas North (RAN) match at Garrison Savannah in Bridgetown on Saturday.
The hosts displayed commanding form against the Green Machine, which struggled to find its rhythm throughout the match.
The result marks a setback for Guyana, which suffered a heavy 48-17 defeat to the Cayman Islands in their previous fixture in April.

This outcome reverses recent trends between the two nations. Prior to Saturday’s game, Guyana had won six of their last seven official test matches against Barbados.
The fixture was part of a series of regional RAN matches scheduled throughout 2025, featuring teams including the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Mexico, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago.

Looking ahead, the RAN competition structure will undergo an overhaul in 2026, introducing a three-tier format to integrate the region into the Rugby World Cup 2027 qualification process.
Currently, only Canada and the United States are involved in the World Cup qualification process within the region. Both teams are set to compete in the Pacific Nations Cup later this year.
