Baa-Baas squad finalised

Fresh from a monster performance that propelled Northampton to their first final, Samu Manoa will become a Barbarian.
The American is one of six players named this morning to complete the 28-man squad that will take on England and the British & Irish Lions in the coming weeks.
Italy prop Andrea Lo Cicero, Saracens hooker Schalk Brits, ex-Wallaby lock Dean Mumm, Fijian Timoci Nagusa and Wasps flyer Elliot Daly are the other five players added to Dai Young squad.
“We are very pleased with the final composition and strength of the squad,” tour manager Derek Quinnell said.
“Obviously because of play-off finals in Ireland and England on May 25 a handful of players will not be available for the first match against England but we have covered that by inviting 28 players.
“We also believe there is a healthy balance between proven test experience and promising young talent who will benefit enormously from the experience.”
