GRR: Eagle Impact Rugby Academy
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy is returning to British Columbia for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic descended in 2020.
This tour was an annual thing starting in 2015 and GRR has covered those as a prime launching pad for some players who have gone on to success in the college and international game.
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy girls U18 team wrapped up their tour of Spain with three victories.
The EIRA team beat Calatlunya 26-5, CAU Rugby Valencia 15-7, and Unió Esportiva Santboiana 22-7—all three being women's club teams with older players.
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy girls U18s opened up their tour of Spain with a victory over the Catalonia regional U19 team.
EIRA will also be taking a girls team to Ireland this summer.
Catalonia is the region that centers on Barcelona and borders Andorra and, crucially, Southern France, and they share some cultural aspects of life, including a love of rugby.
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy boys U18 team in tour in Spain was handed a rather humbling lesson in playing rugby at pace and with power as they lost big to the Spanish U18 team.
Eagle Impact Rugby Academy U18s are on tour in the Iberian Peninsula and have opened with a victory.
This tour is a little different from previous tours when EIRA has played the Spanish national U18 team. This time EIRA has added Portugal to the slate.
