Any idea on what Wallace lads are in camp? I don't expect we will hear anything on squads until they are chosen which may be a week or two. Rodgers, Gould, Fitzsimmons and Moore. McDonagh will be in the U19s and think that camp squad is in a couple of weeks. What about Warwick? They had a decent 13...
