Eagles Abroad: Weekend Review

www.rugbynetwork.com

It was a quiet weekend in the top divisions in Europe as most play halted for the Six Nations. Chris Wyles and Samu Manoa saw action for their respective sides though in the LV= Cup. Only Wyles and his Saracens team will play in the semi-finals. Eric Fry also got some time for London Scottish. Down in the South Africa Derek Asbun prepares to play once again for the Ikeys while both Marcel Brache and Fudge Mabeta missed their team's pre-season friendlies.
