Eagles Quote Sheet: Manoa, Suniula, and Kelly

TIAR correspondent Grant Cole was at Sherlock's U.S.A. Men's National Team Pep Rally and he caught up with a few players ahead of Saturday's match.

Samu Manoa said that it "feels good (to be back with the Eagles)" and that the Eagles have "a good structure" to play "a solid (Irish team)."

Andrew Suniula is confident in Seamus Kelly as his partner in the centers. "He came into the Canada game and had a couple of good touches." He added that "once (Seamus) settles into the game, he'll do great."

In regards to his appearance in the Canada match, Kelly noted that it "did a lot of my confidence and made me realize that I belong here." He also added that he's excited to start and that "it's easier with so much talent around." When asked about crunching so much high level rugby into such a small unit of time, Kelly credited the Eagles staff for doing everything necessary to get him in playing shape.
