Fissler reporting that Glaws have signed Fischetti the Italian loosehead. Hell of a signing and working in tandem with VRR at loosehead gives them some serious talent that side of the scrum.

"If they're signing Fischetti and Sotutu, and no players are leaving at the end of the season, they must be breaking the cap" ;)

:lol: Will Joseph and Ben Loader supposed to be joining as well as the new Scottish 8.

With Mercer and Ackerman going they are offloading some cap space.

The Cannone brothers rumoured to be heading to the UK in the summer as well. Fissler didn't link with any particular club.

Is Gatland officially gone?

Eddie clearly hanging around the UK...

I don't know who that is but there's very little chance it will be as funny. Poor decision.

He is now. Bloody shame - I wanted us to have a go at Gatland!Wales! They'll probably improve significantly (or at least get a dead cat bounce) by the time they play us, not least because I suspect the new coach will be allowed to pick some of the players that Gatland decided were surplus to requirements and have the second fallow weekend and the game against Scotland to bed them in.

I know you were joking but the idea of Gatland at Tigers still made me shudder.

Interesting. I rate both Cannones. Always liked Ruzza as well.

Yeah Ruzza is a good player, underrated. Italy's development pathways are really working. Wales need to be copying their homework.

Matt Everard rumoured to be leaving his job as Tigers defence coach. He's generally done a decent job so unsure what's happening on this one.

Guido Petti signing for Quins. Great signing that- he and Treadwell could be very solid in the row.

Petti is a cracking signing. Treadwell is solid squad cover. Adding a substantial bit of power to the Quins pack. Herbst is leaving, is there another heading out the door.

A bit harsh on Treadwell, but agree on Petti being a great acquisition.

Both upgrades on the current crop we have.

Former Wales, Glos and Tigers' fly half Owen Williams is said to have signed a two-year contract with Nice in ProD2.
The club, however, is 18 points adrift and will be relegated to Nationale 1, but Nice ain't too bad a place to finish your rugby career!

Max Malins to rejoin Sarries next season. Injury means he won't be playing for Bristol again.

Not shocked he's off, been rumours he was heading to France but can understand him wanting to go back.

Possibly frees up space for Tom Jordan to move to 15 and keep hold of Harry Byrne.
