GRR: Eagle Men
BURLINGTON, Vt. (USA Rugby Release) – Men’s Eagles Head Coach Mike Tolkin has chosen a squad of 31 players to face Canada, Harlequin F.C., and Australia in the coming weeks.
If there is one player (aside from AJ MacGinty) who raised his stock in the last few games with the USA, it’s hooker Zach Fenoglio.
The Glendale Raptors captain, former Regis Jesuit USA U19 player, and Loyola Marymount All American, had his best series of games for the Eagles.
Goff Rugby Report accumulated stats for the four USA games during the Pacific Nations Cup, and here's the report on how the team, and the players, fared.
Scott LaValla started the Pacific Nations Cup on the bench against Samoa, but quickly re-established himself as a key member of the USA pack, putting in a large number of tackles and generally securing and winning ball.
The Eagles managed to beat Canada despite getting three yellow cards, a fact that rankled somewhat with USA Coach Mike Tolkin who pointed out in his post-match comments that his team had been down to 14 men for 30 minutes.
