Eagles ready for tough one
Former Harlequins hooker and US captain Billups is rebuilding his team after last year’s World Cup and has named a squad for the autumn tests containing just six players from the team that started the USA’s last World Cup game, a group defeat to France.
Former captains Dan Lyle and Dave Hodges have retired, so the leaders in Dublin on November 20 will be a pair of 25-year-olds - Cardiff flanker and captain Kort Schubert and Sale fly-half Mike Hercus.
