American Joe Eichner blazing rugby league trail with the Toronto Wolfpack
TORONTO — Having beaten the No. 2 team in their division by 68 points last time out, the unbeaten Toronto Wolfpack look to make short work of the 14th-ranked side when the 1-7-0 Coventry Bears visit Saturday.
Not coincidentally, Wolfpack coach Paul Rowley has decided to field his North American internationals this weekend.
“They’ll all play,” Rowley said.
To be fair, only Americans Ryan Burroughs and Joe Eichner fit that bill. Australians Rhys Jacks and Tom Dempsey play internationally for Canada thanks to their bloodlines.
