Head Coach Shawn Pittman selected 26 Men’s Eagles prospects to travel and compete across two matches, the first against Uruguay XV on Thursday, October 13 and the second against Argentina XV on Tuesday, October 18.
The tournament also acts as an extension of the development partnership between USA Rugby and Major League Rugby (MLR) as the large majority of those selected are currently competing or committed with MLR clubs for the upcoming 2023 season. Chris Bauman and Jason Damm will bring senior national team experience and leadership to the squad as capped USA Eagles, while Ethan McVeigh joins right after his invite to Gary Gold’s senior squad camp in Glendale, CO last month.
