GRR: Rugby World Cup
Ray Nelson was a points machine and a dynamic fullback for the USA.
Capped 25 by the USA at a time when the Eagles didn't play a lot every year, Nelson was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and he played his first rugby games there. He was talented and went on to play for Scotland at age-grade levels and was also skilled in 7s.
A convert from field hockey, Ellie Karvoski brought an athleticism and analytic mind to wing for the USA both in 15s and 7s.
Oloseti Fifita played for the USA for only four years, but it wasn't really his fault that he wasn't capped until he was 31.
The name Suniula has become synonymous with American rugby in the last 13 years or so.
Andrew Suniula is the oldest of three brothers who played for the USA. Born in American Samoa and raised in new Zealand, Andrew was first capped in 2008 and ended up playing 39 times for the USA, including two Rugby World Cups.
A direct and honest rugby player and person, Lou Stanfill was a bruising lock, flanker, and No. 8 who played over 50 times for the USA.
