Vancouver native Tim Stanfill is among 35 players named to the national men’s rugby team roster for a tour that begins with a Nov. 1 match against the most successful team in the sport.
The USA Eagles take on the New Zealand All Blacks on Nov. 1 in Chicago. The tour includes matches in Romania, England and France.
“It’s very exciting. At the same time it’s a week away,” Stanfill said adding that his focus is on his job and preparing to be gone for a month.
An Evergreen High School and Central Washington University graduate, Stanfill works as a personal trainer at Pro Sports Club in Bellevue and plays for the Seattle Saracens rugby club.
