Eagles Abroad: Weekend Preview

Nearly all of Europe has the weekend off in order to observe the last weekend in the Six Nations but in one of the few matches that will be played a couple of Americans are set to be involved. Hayden Smith will start once again for Saracens as they play Exeter in the LV= Cup. Also in the team but on the bench is Titi Lamositele. It's been a long time since Lamositele was in a line-up of any sorts thanks to his knee injury earlier in the year. His return has to bring a big smile to Mike Tolkin's face as well as Eagles fans. Most of the rest of the play involving Americans comes in the Southern Hemisphere. U.S.-eligible Marcel Brache will once again start for the Western Force while Toni Pulu is not involved for the Chiefs.
