Player pool announced as USA round out 2024 in Europe
- 709
The USA Men’s Eagles will complete a nine-test match 2024 this November in Europe, traveling overseas to compete against Portugal, Tonga and Spain.
Head Coach Scott Lawrence and staff have selected 30 traveling players to represent the USA for the fall. Captain Greg Peterson and Nate Augspurger will both join the tour, each with an opportunity to earn their 50th international test match.
Flyhalf AJ MacGinty returns to the squad, while Houston’s Siaosi Mahoni also rejoins the touring Eagles for the first time in 2024. Four players will look to earn their Men’s Eagles debut in Mark O’Keeffe, Shilo Klein, Erich Storti and Noah Brown. Storti had previously toured with the team for a two-match series in July, also having since been drafted by Anthem Rugby Carolina first overall in the 2024 Major League Rugby Draft. Noah Brown will similarly look to earn his first XVs cap, adding to his USA Sevens debut in 2022.
Head Coach and General Manager, Scott Lawrence said previously on the fall tour, “The November tour is an opportunity for us to test ourselves against a formidable team in Tonga, with their full contingent, as well as Spain and Portugal. Two nations with plenty of time together and a player base getting consistent professional minutes. As we look to improve test match minutes of our players, by way of the national team, we’ll have a chance to do it against three teams who are already there.”
