GRR: Eagle Men
Joe Taufete'e is somewhat unique in American rugby.
Clarence Culpepper played rugby for Philadelphia and (for longer) Roanoke during his career through the 1970s and 1980s.
Known as a mobile and tenacious openside flanker who covered a lot of ground, Culpepper was also a superb leader and captain.
Carroll played for Australia in 1908 and 1912, a loss to Wales, a win in the Olympic final, in which he scored two tries, and a defeat of the USA in 1912.
It was that tour of North America that changed his life, as the skilled flyhalf decided to stay in the United States. A year later he was on the USA team that lost to New Zealand.
Luke Gross is the quintessential gentle giant, friendly and engaging off the field, but ornery on it.
USA flyhalf AJ MacGinty is still smarting from a 2019 World Cup in which the Eagles didn't perform to their expectations, but he's back on the field with Sale and we figured we'd chat with him about that.
We discuss his World Cu-winning halfback mate, whether time off is a good thing, the World Cup, the future for the Eagles, maturing as a player and a person, and much more.
