The USA Women Eagles are busy training and preparing for the 2010 Rugby World Cup. However, they have made a few very cute videos that give us a peek into what it takes to be an Eagle. Make sure to check them out at http://www.wewantrugby.com/!

In the USA it’s tough being an international player. The demands on each player are increasing every year, the time commitment makes living a normal life challenging, but these young women are prepared to do anything that is asked of them to represent their country on the world stage.

We are currently trying to raise funds to support their journey. These funds are not to pay for salaries and luxuries, they are for the basic essentials that will enable the team to perform the best they can in August.

Every single dollar raised will go to the women’s team, every single donation is welcome and truly appreciated, you can make your donation by visiting: http://www.wewantrugby.com/donate.html.
