More than likely a typo, he is seen training with the squad in the recent LTTV video with Mike Williamsnewbie wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2017 11:56 am Genuine question - miss reported or should we be worried?

Chris Baumann can be seen training in the latest LTTV video with Dom Ryan so that's a done deal

Wouldn't be so clear cut on that. They could be internationals recovering from a busy summer or currently doing pre-season at their current club.
I would imagine though that it'll either be Johnny May or DMAC. I think Kitchener, Barrow, Fitz, Masikimw (sp.) and Wells will cover the 2nd row quite sufficiently. Equally I wonder if we'd see a resurgence of Tom Croft playing lock. Slower, granted, but amazing in the line out. He seems to be a bit more bulky as well.

He seems to have been around forever and injuries inevitably take their toll but let's not forget - he's only 31.
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Didn't we start off the 15/16 season with the two Mikes at lock?
Rather we didn't use Croft at lock esp with his injury record.

Might have been one game I think. De Chaves started a few

McKenzie not coming,named in the AB RCC squad as backup FH. It was never really on anyway but Marty is apparently coming.

Looking it up it was against Irish (A) and Wasps (H) of that season.
technically that is the wider training squad, hence no crusaders.
A crusaders win and i reckon a few of there backs will be included as the Lions at Jo'burg will be a big marker for them.
Re: Leicester Tigers 2017/18 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread!
Scott he's been named as the backup backup fly half (Sopoanga and Barrett ahead - with Mo'unga still to come in when Crusaders are done). Just as he has been the backup backup full back. Hanson is even spouting some nonsense about making him train at 9.
He is too good to be deemed as third best in either position when he has been the best attacking player in Super Rugby for 2 seasons.
I still don't think it's off the cards. Unless you have a source, of course?!

i would sday it is currently unlikely this season now.
BUT IF Mo'unga has a big game in the final in SA then i can see him getting a chance ahead of DMAC. It's ridiculous how much talent NZ has really.
