USA confirm team for November Internationals
- 2359
The U.S. Men's National Team has been named for the upcoming November Internationals 2018.
In all, players will have the opportunity to represent the U.S. across the span of four international fixtures against New Zealand's Maori All Blacks, Samoa, Romania and Ireland.
Joining the team straight from competition in the developmental Americas Pacific Challenge (APC) 2018 are Men's Eagles Hanco Germishuys, Ryan Matyas and Dylan Audsley. Both Germishuys and Audsley competed with the USA during their June Internationals while Matyas springs back into action for the first time since the Eagles won their second-consecutive Americas Rugby Championship title this March.
Five of the athletes in the named roster will miss the United States' opening match against the Maori due to obligations with their professional clubs overseas. Paul Lasike, Titi Lamositele, Samu Manoa, Joe Taufete'e and Blaine Scully will all join the Men's Eagles in Europe, available for selection against Samoa, Romania and Ireland.
