For the Canadian team, Kyle Baillie and Eric Howard are listed on the roster for Saturday’s match against Chile.

Ignacio Dottie will take the field as a lock for Uruguay.

In an article by USA Rugby, head coach Gary Gold said this about the upcoming match against Uruguay:

“This is a very talented, well-coached, and experienced South American side and we have to bring that same physicality and energy that we had a few weeks ago in order to play to our strengths…I am confident this group will put in the work necessary to be prepared come Saturday.”

Both matches on Saturday are the beginning of a two-game series.

Next Saturday, October 9, the Eagles will travel to Uruguay and the Canadian team will travel to Chile. Both group’s winners will be determined by the aggregate score of their two matches.

NOLA Gold general manager Ryan Fitzgerald had this to say about the upcoming international matches:

“There’s nothing we love more than watching our guys thrive on the international stage. I think it’s a testament to our system here—draft and develop.

If you look at someone like Guerra, who is coming of his rookie season and is already getting that call up to the Eagles, it says a lot. We’re extremely proud of all of them and can’t wait to see Moni potentially get his USA cap this weekend. We’ll be cheering them all on from back here in NOLA.”
