EIRA Players Celebrate Progress, But More Work To Be Done
In the first four meetings between Eagle Impact Rugby Academy and the Spanish U18 side, it's fair to say EIRA was smoked.
Scored of 61-15 and 55-15 in 2021 were followed up with 36-3 and 43-24 in 2022. Only that last one really harbingered that the players, as well as the coaches, were starting to understand just how quickly the Spanish played, and how EIRA teams might score points.
