USA head coach Gary Gold has named his final 31-man squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
The former Worcester Warriors boss has overseen a positive preseason for the Eagles. They performed well in the Pacific Nations Cup which included wins over Canada and Samoa before falling to eventual competition winners Japan on a final scoreline of 34-20.
At the weekend, they had their last hit out and they produced a come-from-behind win to emerge 20-15 winners of Canada in Vancouver.
One of the players who scored a crucial second-half try in that game was Dylan Fawsitt. The Greystones RFC man has been included in the final 31-man squad alongside fellow Irish-born players John Quill, Paul Mullen and AJ MacGinty.

MacGinty and Quill have already represented the USA at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
