Eagle Impact Rugby Academy (EIRA) is a national elite training academy that develops players for higher level rugby competition. Many of their players eventually move on to play for USA Rugby, professional rugby, and other international professional rugby teams. To get an invitation from EIRA is quite an accomplishment and honor. Six of the Trumbull High boys rugby players attended the National Camp in Arizona in December 2022. Congratulations to Vincent Desautels, Sebastian Leon, Jonathan Hall, Lorenzo Sevilla, Wesley Dayton, and Brady Smith. Anthony Desautels was also invited, but was unable to attend.
