GRR: Atlantis
Old Glory DC lost a hard-fought match against New York in D’montae Noble’s fourth match of the 2021 MLR season, but for Noble it was a match of firsts.
Late in the first of half the match Noble scored his first try as a professional rugby player; we caught up with the rookie Old Glory wing to discuss how the former West End, Atlantis, and Kutztown star is adjusting.
Starting flyhalf for the USA team that won the 1991 Women's Rubgy World Cup, Harju was the table-setter for a dynamic and exciting USA backline.
A physically imposing and unflinching second row, Nancy Fitz was capped 21 times by the USA and captained the Eagles as well.
Elite women's rugby is back on the field today with the USA Women's Stars & Stripes game, and while we'll be seeing current and future Eagles in display, one player in particular is being fast-tracked a little faster than most.
USA Rugby is unveiling a slightly new approach in its high performance pathway.
Part of that will be a verification process to officially recognize National Development Programs (NDPs) as part of its pathway.
