Vili Matanibukaca to represent the USA Eagles in Hong Kong and Adelaide

This will be pretty Vili's 2nd trip to Hong Kong.  Vinaka to you Vili.  The opening match for the US will be 9PM local time on March 28th.

Helping out on the restarts will be 6-6 Vili Matanibucaka. Fast, powerful, and fully healthy, the Old Puget Sound forward came into camp 25 pounds lighter and with minimal body fat.

"He looked great," said Caravelli. "He makes us much stronger on the kickoffs, and he is very dangerous in the open field, stays on his feet well, and he is really, really fit."

Tonga Tupou huge in LA Rugby's win over OMBAC

For those who remember young Tonga, you'll be happy to know his knee is apparently strong and he is doing well.

". . .but as time went on in the second half LA began to take control. Tonga Topou had a huge game on the wing, and the Los Angeles forwards started to exert their pressure. "
