2006 World Rugby Classic Squad Selected

2006 World Rugby Classic Squad Selected
08/15/06

A strong list of Team America players has been announced to represent the USA in the Bermuda classic this November.

Listed is the roster for the Bermuda World Rugby Classic in November. Due to the number of great players amassed in the player pool, this was arguably the most difficult selection process TA has ever had. As a result, the team traveling to Bermuda is very strong.

We fully intend to win the tournament this year.

Each year, due to injury, work, family, etc., players have to withdraw from the team. Please keep training and get fitter for the likely event that you are called on as a replacement.

Thanks to all who made themselves available for TA this season.

Respectfully,
TA Players Committee
