Old Glory has just brought in more star power as they have acquired center Ciaran Hearn. Hearn is also a Canadian international as he has played in three Rugby World Cups and has also played 7s. This move will pair him with his Canadian national teammate Doug Fraser in the backline, which could be beneficial for both of them and Old Glory's offensive attack. There was a lot of speculation he would join the squad, but now it's official.
Hearn has played for Canada in the 2011, 2015, and the 2019 Rugby World Cups and has 73 appearances for the national team including 7s. For the national side he has 8 tries, made 7 conversions, and 3 penalty goals. He also played for the London Irish in England.
Hearn has a big frame as he is 6'3" and 225lbs and that could help in the backline defensively. He is likely to pair up with his Canadian teammate Fraser in the backline, but he also can play at fullback if needed. So it will be interesting what that partnership does for the team as they probably have a lot of chemistry together. He becomes the third Canadian on the team as he also joins Travis Larsen on the squad.
