The squad for the grand-slam tour of Great Britain & Ireland named this morning.
Five newcaps: Masoe, Eaton, Tialata, MacDonald, Toeava.
Out: Marty Holah, Corey Flynn.
Recalled: Andrew Hore, Nick Evans
NB: there are SEVEN Brave Wellington Lions vs. only 6 Cantabs in the squad :-)
Altogether a good geographic spread IMO. Good on Auckland (I very rarely say that) for winning the NPC!
