15

The Midwest U23s are scouting once again, this time looking toward the women’s 15s tour to Wales this August. The first step in naming the travel squad occurs this weekend at the Midwest LAU tournament, hosted by Palmer College. Thunderbird head coach Steve Murra and assistant coach Roger Riley will evaluate players at the all-star event and invite standouts to the Midwest U23 Elite Camp in mid-May. That assembly's in Hartland, Wis., and will name the squad heading to Europe this summer.

The Wales itinerary is very similar to the one in 2013, except this year, a Rugby World Cup year, the Thunderbirds will attend the Wales vs. Ireland warm-up match. The coaching staff will assess players from five different states/regions this weekend. Wisconsin is well represented, supplying two sides, while Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio and Prairie States will also play three matches this weekend.

Rosters for Wisconsin’s two sides and Minnesota are below. For those in the Davenport, Iowa, region, here is the women’s schedule:
