Eagle Impact Rugby Academy Players Named For BC Tour
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy U16 and U17 teams have been named for next week's tour of British Columbia.

The EIRA teams will play the BC U16s and U17s on the campus of the University of British Columbia, with the western HS All Americans playing the BC U18s in a repeat of last year's tour. In 2016, the two EIRA teams and the HS All Americans swept their Canadian opposition.

Several of the 2016 U17s have gone on to national honors from the press or from the HS All Americans, or both. Interestingly, only one player on the U17 team returns from the 2016 U16 team, Granite Bay second row forward Dante Bandoni. So this is a very new group.

Most of the players were selected from the western half of the USA, with another group touring Ireland later this month, and then still another, more eastern, group playing in Ontario. Howeever, several players from the Midwest are on the BC trip because of scheduling conflicts.
