The name Suniula has become synonymous with American rugby in the last 13 years or so.
Andrew Suniula is the oldest of three brothers who played for the USA. Born in American Samoa and raised in new Zealand, Andrew was first capped in 2008 and ended up playing 39 times for the USA, including two Rugby World Cups.
Pam Kosanke was a standout for the USA in 15s and 7s, playing 11 times for the Eagle 15s over the course of eight years.
Plucked out of almost obscurity into the US national 7s team, Stephen Tomasin may have been a little lucky, but he turned that sliver of good fortune into an impressive career with the Eagles.
A direct and honest rugby player and person, Lou Stanfill was a bruising lock, flanker, and No. 8 who played over 50 times for the USA.
A quick, mobile, and very fit prop for the perennial champs Florida State, Colleen Fahey was a bit of a different breed of front row forward.
