Quilly , who is Eagle #435 has earned 27 caps for USA Eagles, the win over Scotland was the first one over a Tier One side in 94 years since their victory over France in the 1924 Olympic Games.

John Quill is playing for Glendale Raptors, the Colorado based team is  leading the Major League Rugby standings two weeks ahead of the MLR playoffs.having defeated the Seattle Seawolves at the weekend they remain undefeated. Unfortunately Quilly suffered a leg injury in the last moments of the game and will miss next week ends fixture v Canada.
