Totally! Would love to see him get a test, just for being him.

Interesting TKB is in the camp but Cruden is not

TKB doesn't go to France until after Mitre 10 Cup whereas Cruden is off already.

Cruden will be off to France soon; TKB will leave after Mitre 10 Cup season.

@Stargazer Decent squad. JTA and Fifita are the only two players that I don't think should be there.

[JayCee]

So has Dixon been dropped?

[Tim]

@JayCee That happened last year.

[JayCee]

@Tim he was in the eoyt last year, but sure 2017 he hasnt featured. Just a little surprised no room for him in the wider training squad.

[KiwiMurph]

@JayCee He's been struggling to start for Highlanders.

[Tim]

@JayCee Sorry dude, my mistake.

Awesome news for Buckmann! He's a smart player and they tend to do well at test level. Good on him.

So over 50% of the available starting super rugby players then? They sure do cast that net wide. They probably could have invited all super rugby players for a skill session.

Makes sense to invite that many if they want to run some 15 on 15....

@chimoaus add in probably 13 Crusaders, and it's a really high proportion of our pro players.
