Lam’s new squad boasts new Kiwi connections and local youngsters

Thu, Jun 19, 2014

Eight new players, including the province’s biggest addition Mils Muliaina, signals Pat Lam’s first full squad selection since taking over the reins from Eric Elwood.

Lam undoubtedly produced the coup of this season’s signings, luring the former All Black Muliaina and the Super 15 Chiefs centre Bundee Aki to the province. The two players are key recruits for the province, providing real top class experience in a young backline in which Darragh Leader and Robbie Henshaw are expected to develop into seasoned and top class pros. The addition of former Blues hooker Tom McCartney is another from Lam’s former stable who, along with Nathan White, will provide the necessary seasoning to a relatively young front row.
