Fiji-born USA rugby union hooker Cyrille Cama is on the verge of making his international debut for the USA Eagles in this year’s Asahi Pacific Nations Cup competition.

Cama is among six uncapped players in the USA Eagles squad, which aims for a top placement in the tournament.

The Natokalau, Kubulau Bua man, with maternal links to Bureta in Ovalau started his rugby career at St Agnes Primary School in Nabua before his family moved to Los Angeles in 2013.

Two years ago, the 23-year-old signed a two-year contract with the Major League Rugby champions, the LA Giltinis Rugby Club, and has previously been selected for the USA Eagles Under-20s team.

Cama also played for the Rhinos Rugby Academy in Sacramento alongside notable African sevens stars and became the first player from the Rhinos Academy and High-Performance Unit to gain selection for the USA Eagles.

Cama’s mother Marjorie Cama expressed her pride saying Cyrille’s journey is one of blessings and can be summarised as the point of convergence of human benevolence, generosity, and divine providence.

Marjorie says it is a blessing because it was always his dream to play rugby.

The USA Eagles will host Japan in Los Angeles at 1pm this Sunday.

The USA is in pool B alongside Canada and Japan.

Meanwhile, The Fiji Water Flying Fijians will be on a bye this weekend and will take on Tonga next Friday at 3pm in Tonga.

Fiji currently leads pool A with 5 points after their 42-16 win over Samoa last Friday.

Fiji is pooled alongside Samoa and Tonga.
