Wyles Makes 100th Count
International - Americans Overseas


USA fullback and former USA 7s team captain Chris Wyles scored a try and earned Man of the Match honors in his 100th appearance for his club, Saracens, Saturday in European Cup action.

Saracens, which is based in Watford, England, just north of London, played what was officially a home game in Brussels, Belgium, and seemed to have no trouble getting fan support in their Heineken Cup match against Racing Metro. 

Wyles scored his try in the 21st minute, with the teams tied 3-3 at the time. The try started Sarries on a roll that put them 20-3 up at halftime. They never looked back and won 30-13.

Wyles was named Man of the Match, and received the honor to chants of USA! USA! from his teammates.

"I am honored to represent the club and to get the win," Wyles said later. "Now it's time to celebrate."
