Sydney Swans name Mike Pyke to take on Port Adelaide in NAB Cup

February 18, 2009

FORMER Canadian rugby union international Mike Pyke will play for the Sydney Swans in Sunday's NAB Cup match against Port Adelaide.

Pyke will share the rucking duties with Darren Jolly in the match at Canberra's Manuka Oval, Swans coach Paul Roos said on Wednesday.

A fullback in Canada's 2007 Rugby World Cup squad, Pyke was rookie listed by the Swans in August last year.

Roos said he will also use the pre-season to try out several youngsters with a number of positions available for the regular season.
