The MLR Rising camp is in its second full day and third day overall; here's a look at what's been going on.

The 50 players at MLR Rising are in camp.
There are three changes. Lindenwood prop Asher Webb, UBC scrumhalf Jacob Bourne, and Central Washington center Calvin Liulamaga all picked up injuries. Replacing them are two players from Saint Mary's, Lleyton Delzell and Hunter Chulhanstaff, and University of Ottawa's Jamie Armstrong.
