Reaching milestones, such as making an appearance at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, is only achievable with the help of special individuals. Alongside the many incredible donors and supporter members who've helped the Eagles achieve their goal, a few of the Men's Eagles would like to give thanks to a key person who helped them in their journey to the Rugby World Cup.

Gives thanks to his Mom, Elabe Germishuys and his Coach/Friend, Dave Synnot.
"Mom, thank you for being there for me since day one. Dave, thanks for helping since I started my career in America and traveling with me to get everything started!'

Gives thanks to his Coach, teacher, friend, Sopa Enari.
"Sopa inspired me to be the best person I could be on and off the field. He helped me realize how far I can go in this game and in life.'

Gives thanks to his father, Jack Lamborn.
"Thank you for being the best dad role model a son could ask for. If I could be half the man he is I would be a very happy man. Love ya dad.'

Gives thanks to his coach, Neil Macdonald.
"Thank you, Neil, for your neverending support and guidance. You helped me fall in love with the game, taught me what it means to be mentally tough, and can still beat me in a Bronco at age 58.'

Gives thanks to Tracy and Jason Todd.
"If it wasn’t for Tracy and Jason I would have never achieved this goal. They have helped me throughout my life and rugby career and shared this wonderful sport with me that I will never take for granted.'

Gives thanks to his father, David Hilterbrand.
"Thanks for feeding me and taking me to training!'
