The Eagles November campaign did not get off to a dream start. In Chicago, Illinois the visiting New Zealand Māori All were far too strong, completing a 54-7 win.
The home side was not helped by the date of the fixture. Being placed outside of the November International window meant a number of top players were not free for selection.
On a positive note Toyota Park attracted a strong attendance. A sell-out crowd got to see some impressive tries, one of which was scored by the home side. To the delight of the crowd Todd Clever’s try was confirmed by the TMO.
