The New England Free Jacks have confirmed the return of Harrison Boyle for the 2022 Major League Rugby season. Primarily a flyhalf, the 21-year-old also had starts at inside center and fullback during his first full season as a professional in 2021.
Boyle was previously part of the New Zealand’s u20 training group but is US-eligible having been born in Boston. He started 13 games for the club this past season, displaying strong passing and tactical kicking skills. At 6’4″ (1.94m) he also has the ability to challenge the defensive line as a ball carrier.

Jansen is currently playing for the Tel Aviv Heat and Waaka with Waikato. Yacoubian recently earned USA Selects honors at the Americas Pacific Challenge.
