Eagles Abroad: Weekend Review

It was an up and down week for Americans across the globe as some players put in full 80 minute performances for their team while coming away with a defeat, while other played the full match, came off the bench, or didn't even play but and saw their team win. One of the players in the latter category is Chris Wyles, who was on the bench to watch his team beat Samu Manoa's Northampton. Elsewhere, one American picked up silverware in South Africa, while two Americans finished up play ahead of an international break. Take the jump to read more.
