All things being relative - Dragons getting Moriarty and Hibbard is excellent business too.

Stirzaker is only a loan to cover Anglo Welsh. From what I've heard he's not exactly tearing up trees, either.

I'm sure it's an audition for a longer gig, as there's no space for him at the rebels anymore.
I'm not surprised to hear he isn't thrashing it.

Good signing from a Saints' perspective, non-trivial loss for Wasps.

Rowan is in a shit situation with his concussion issues, you would expect Scott will get another contract handily enough.

Guy Thompson to leicester
Re: The Official Transfer Thread 2018/19

by Porterbelly1
Thompson is a decent player, but it says alot about the Leicester pack and their recruitment that they seem to be recruiting backup players from other teams.
Their back row must be one of the worst in the Prem. Dominic Ryan would barely get a game for Leinster A, Hamilton is bang average and was at Agen, Williams and Fitzgerald aren't dynamic enough, Kalamafoni is a one trick pony and Mapapalangi is rubbish. O Connor constantly injured.

I wanted to leave my thoughts of disappointment and best wishes on the Wasps twitter announcement, but my irrational hatred for the word 'gutted' took over as I saw it used so many times by others. 'Gutted'. Really? REALLY???
Seppuku over losing Guy Thompson? I'm a huge fan, but no.

On a less stellar level, Charlie Pozniak who played a blinder in the varsity match is likely to leave sale's academy and sign for Leicester. I assume on the academy squad as I think he's in his final year at Oxford.
Useful player.
