Junior All-Americans coach Billy Millard has selected his line-up for his team's first Junior World Rugby Trophy match. Headlining the team is capped Eagles Titi Lamositele. He joins High School All-Americans teammate Valdemar Lee-Lo in the props. Other notable names on the roster include Hanco Germishuys, who has potential suitors in Europe, and Ben Cima, a multi-time All-American.
The U.S. is in Pool A with Hong Kong, Tonga, and Georgia. The U.S. play Hong Kong Monday at 7:00 a.m. et/4:00 a.m. pt. Unlike in past years this year's edition will not be streamed on the web, much to the disappointment of the Tier II rugby community.
