Smart Tactics and Good Vibes Lead to EIRA U16 Win

The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy boys U16s have had little time to revel in their 15-12 victory over Munster.

Even though the EIRA players were up against an older group (a mixture of U16s and U17s to make up for the greater size of the American players), the tourists came away with an impressive victory.

Big Day for EIRA on Tour in Ireland

Eagle Impact Rugby Academy logged a busy and fruitful day in games against three Irish provinces Saturday on their multi-team tour.

The girls U18s and U16s went 1-1 vs Leinster, with a 60-meter breakaway try by Annie Henrich the highlight. That try, scored at the end of the game, secured a dramatic 15-14 win for the U18s.

The U16s lost 18-14.

EIRA Players Celebrate Progress, But More Work To Be Done

In the first four meetings between Eagle Impact Rugby Academy and the Spanish U18 side, it's fair to say EIRA was smoked.

Scored of 61-15 and 55-15 in 2021 were followed up with 36-3 and 43-24 in 2022. Only that last one really harbingered that the players, as well as the coaches, were starting to understand just how quickly the Spanish played, and how EIRA teams might score points.
