Eagle Impact Rugby Academy U16 Coach Jon Banarhall has an important job, but it’s one he relishes.
With Banarhall being the development coach at West Point, he’s used to bring talented player along and peppering them for higher levels. This is why the EIRA U16 team, which is in Vancouver preparing to play the British Columbia U16s on Wednesday, exists.
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy U17s have been named for their tour of British Columbia.
The U17s will face the British Columbia U17s on the campus of the University of British Columbia on Wednesday, July 13, and then against on Saturday, July 16.
The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy U16 team slated to tour British Columbia next week has been named.
The team includes players from 12 different states, as well as England. Among the players of note: Tyren Al-Jiboori is the third Al-Jiboori brother to play for a major touring select side. All three - Michael, Malon, and now Tyren - got their start at Union HS in Oklahoma.
One of the best questions to ask any coach of a select side is - what players from lesser-known teams are playing well?
