High School Girls
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy girls fielded a combined U16/U18 team to face Leinster U18s Tuesday in Dublin, Ireland.
The EIRA side opted for the combined side in part because their U16 players have shown themselves to be able to front up physically against older Irish girls.
That proved to be correct as the EIRA side won 48-7.
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy are right in the middle of their Ireland tour, producing good, competitive games for two boys teams and two girls teams.
It's also a learning experience, culturally as well as with rugby.
On Friday the U16 Boys played Ulster U17s, the U18 Boys played Ulster Clubs U18s, and the two girls teams, U16s and U18s, played Munster's corresponding teams.
Twenty-four teams played in the NAI 7s Girls U18 bracket, and that single bracket produced two champions.
There wasn't really a U18 Elite bracket, but there were teams that declared themselves wanting to play in an elite division.
So everyone was put in the same bracket, but split n the knockout rounds.
Day One is done at the NAI 7s and we have a lot of videos on our social media platforms for you to see.
Here's a quick rundown.
Boys U18 EliteLed by some power running from Cormac Saint and with Arno Agassi being very opportunistic, Rebel Rugby Academy is 3-0 in Boys U18 Elite.
The USA Women's age-grade teams return from Canada 0-4 and perhaps a little bit humbled, but certainly the teams showed improvement over their series with two of the Great White North's best women's collegiate programs.
