Quote: Saddened! "Depends what he means? Is it a slight on signing youff players or on signing big forwards as opposed to pacey sparrow legged backs?
With these two boys and the two Welsh lads we're well on our way to fielding a non-English but non-quota affected 17. That would be fantastic.'"
Whatever it means, props with real size are a rare commodity, and any successful side needs at least one big prop, whether they play a forward oriented game or not. Add to that the fact that our scouting system has recently brought in two young athletic outside backs who are currently ripping it up at U19 level.
This news shows that we are competing nationwide and beyond for young talent, and thinking outside the box too. To put a negative spin on it is just perverse.
