Team Profile 15: SRU Eagles



Young siblings to the senior Borneo Eagles from Sandakan Rugby Club Sabah, the Borneo Eagles Development Team is the future of Sabah Rugby.

This elite group of youngsters are being vigourously groomed to be the future torch bearers of Sabah Rugby. In fact, several of them have already ‘earned their wings’ and have played in the senior squad at selected tournaments. The ‘cream of the crop’ selected from the Sabah Academy for Rugby Excellence, these up-and-coming youngsters play an exciting brand of rugby with all the enthusiasm and youthful exuberance expected of them. They have passed assessment by a panel of professional coaches who are assisting in the development programmes drawn up by Sabah Rugby Union and its Affiliates.

There is no denying that they are still a little inexperienced, but, given time and guidance, there is little doubt they will soar to great heights.
