The rugby sevens star, social media influencer and reality TV competitor Ilona Maher is included in the US Eagles squad for four 15-a-side games this spring, as her quest for a place at the World Cup later this year moves on from a successful stint with Bristol Bears in England.
Listed as a center, having played wing for Bristol, Maher is set to “return to the USA Rugby 15s pitch for the first time since 2021, where she debuted with two caps during the Pacific Four Series”, USA Rugby said in announcing its squad for games against Japan and, in this year’s Pacific Four, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
