Manu and Youngs out?

Post by oldbackrow »

BBC say Manu and Ben Youngs out of training squad through injury. Anyone see what injuries they picked up?

They also say
"Worcester prop Nick Schonert has also pulled out through injury, with Exeter prop Ben Moon and Leicester wing Jordan Olowofela called up as replacements."

Which has echoes of May's glorious cameo at 6

I was rather surprised that Tuilagi in particular was selected, seemingly more on past performances than current form.
As for Youngs, the time has come to give Robson a few games, so their injuries could be a blessing in disguise before the AIs.

Assuming that they're both just niggles might be a blessing for Tigers as well having them in camp all week having suffered a disappointing loss yesterday.

So Manu has a "tight hamstring" and Young a strained ankle.

The former sounds like cotton wool. (wishful thinking?)
