5 Eagles named in the Finland team!!!!! image

Reflecting the hard work of the last 9 months, 5 Eagles squad members are selected for the Finland squad to play in Greece.

Eagles scrum half Bernt Lindell joins his teammates Semu Salmivalli (hooker), Ilkka Tuomaala (centre/fly half) and Galen Rangiawha (centre) in the 22-man Finland squad which will play their next European Nations Cup game against Greece in Athens on 12.11.2011.

Also joining the squad is French-born Rauma fly half Pierre-Yves Guiban, who played 3 Championship games for Turku this season, scoring a try in the season finale against Jyväskylä.

All 5 secured their place after performing well at the National Team training camp held at Eerikkilä Sports Institue on 22-23.10.2011, where Eagles coach Alastair Davies (yes, that's me!!!) assisted in the coaching under Head Coach Alan Hine.
