Flying with Eagles

The Dubai Rugby Sevens is this weekend coming and all the international teams have now arrived and are preparing (I am playing in the social competition which is a million miles away from international sevens which is now an Olympic sport). Anyway, our club has a common sponsor in Emirates with Team USA and they arranged for the players to run some coaching sessions for the little ones. The TV cameras and newspapers were there too so it was all good publicity. This is Mark Bokhoven, a solid unit as they say in rugby speak (6 feet 4 with muscles to spare). He was great with the under 8s and I think he made a lot of new fans today.
