Guernsey and Jersey will resume their rugby rivalry in the National Three East league, marking the first time since the 1994-95 season that both teams compete in the same division. Guernsey director of rugby Jordan Reynolds anticipates a vibrant atmosphere for the matches, comparable in intensity to the Siam Cup. Jersey's recent promotion follows their title win in Regional One South Central, while Guernsey has consistently played at this level since 2018. The teams last faced off in the Siam Cup, where Guernsey emerged victorious with a 35-27 win. Reynolds believes the added fixtures will enhance the rivalry without diminishing the significance of the Siam Cup, which remains a historic trophy in world rugby.
