Opening Kick is a segment devoted to bringing you all Eagles and U.S.A. Rugby news in one location.
We've extended the deadline for our contest to win a Lions 125th Anniversary Ball. It's easy. All you have to do is caption the photo and like the TIAR and Rhino Rugby USA Facebook pages.
National Teams:

The Men's College All-American roster has been released. 28 players will travel to New Zealand for three matches. The team was chosen after a rigorous training camp.
The Women Eagles couldn't repeat their performance against France from last week as they came up short, 27-25, last night in the second of their three tests against France. Jackie Finlan has more on the match, including the star role of penalties.
Alex Goff has some notes from Eagles camp in Southern California. (Membership required) Rugbymag also shares a cool video of the atmosphere from Houston.
