| AJ MacGinty kicking in the cold. |
Due to the Paris attacks over the weekend only some Americans saw action in the European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup. Players that had their matches impacted include Samu Manoa, Callum Black, and Greg Peterson. Of the players that did play it was quite an eventful weekend. Chris Wyles started for Saracens and scored two tries in their big win over Toulouse. You can see his tries in this highlight package. Also getting on the score sheet was Blaine Scully who scored his first try for Cardiff. They blew out Calvisano in their Challenge Cup match 50-9. AJ MacGinty arguably had the most adventurous weekend as seen by the video above. He got his first start for Connacht and was one of the few players to go the full 80 minutes. He scored three penalties for his efforts. Also scoring over the weekend was Taku Ngwenya.
