Q&A: Glendale Raptors Captain Zach Fenoglio
The Glendale Raptors captain, Zach Fenoglio, answered some questions for us coming into the weekend match against the Austin Huns.
The Glendale Raptors are in the midst of a remarkable season, going undefeated and scoring no less than 41 points in each fixture so far. We were recently able to catch up with the Colorado club's captain and hooker, Zach Fenoglio, to discuss his team's success this year, his experience playing against fellow USA Eagles teammates, and his preparations on match day.

FloRugby: As a top-tier club, Glendale has set the bar for elite teams across the country. How do you help prepare your teammates each week, knowing you have a target on your back?
Zach Fenoglio: We've set our model for this year that we are our own toughest critics. There are a lot of great teams out there, but we have to hold ourselves accountable and be honest with one another. By holding ourselves to a higher standard we look to bring out the best within us.With so many decisive wins this season, what has been the focus in training?
Every week our approach is the same: continue to develop as a team and improve our pattern of play as a unit.What is it like playing against some of your teammates on the USA rugby squad?
I love it. It's what makes rugby such a great game. You start playing long enough and you're friends end up on the other side of the ball. It's great to see old friends and play against them for a change.[instagram url="https://www.instagram.com/p/BQQPZQ9g51g/?taken-by=zfenoglio" hide_caption="0"]
