1st Signing - Martin Landajo

'THE DOOR OPENER' TO JOIN THE CLUB FOR THE 2019/20 SEASON
Harlequins is delighted to announce today that Argentinian
Scrum-half Martin Landajo will join the Club as a new signing
for the 2019/20 season.
The 30-year-old, who is one of his country’s most capped
internationals with 84 appearances and was part of the Argentina
squad which reached the semi-finals of the 2015 World Cup, will
complement Danny Care’s skillset and provide another level of
leadership across the squad.
Landajo will team up with Harlequins from Jaguares following the
World Cup in Japan, if selected for the Argentina national
squad, and will look to make his debut for the London Club at
The Stoop from November 2019.
“I cannot wait to get started with Harlequins,” said Landajo. “I
have always admired the Club’s history and place in the English
game and, under Paul Gustard, I can see they have become even
stronger and are now in a great place to win trophies.”
Paul Gustard, Harlequins Head of Rugby, added: “Martin will be a
wonderful addition to the squad and add greater density to our
leadership group. They call him The Door Opener - and for good
reason. His pace and creativity has been able to unlock defences
at the highest level and we look forward to welcoming him at The
Stoop later this year.
“He is a very impressive man who is driven to push on, test
himself in a different environment and leave his own personal
legacy in the game. We are delighted he is committing his future
with us and we look forward to welcoming Martin and his young
family to Quins.”

Good start to the week to have this confirmed. We all know how
much we struggle whenever Danny isn't available - hopefully this
means we won't have the same problems next season! Couple of
ideal mentors for Saunders and Waters too...
Happy days.

Great signing! just what we need!
With Care and Landajo potentially playing in the world cup, we
could be short right at the start of the season...

With Spencer preferred to Danny last weekend I'd say he will be
in the Quarters right from the off next season.

Danny being injured may have been a factor...

I'm 50:50 on whether Danny will go to the WC. Eddie might decide
he's worth taking as a "finisher". Every time Danny wears the 9
shirt for England he seems to really struggle. With 21 on his
back he's rarely had a bad 20/30 mins for England - and more
often than not he's had a stormer. Then again, Eddie doesn't
bring scrum halves off the bench these days - seems to prefer to
let Youngs run us up blind alleys, slow our ball right down and
then kick it away to the oppo for 73 minutes. By which time it's
too late for anyone to make a difference.
I hope he does go to the WC but if he doesn't it's really good
news for us. I'm sure he'd be on standby if he's not on the
initial plane though...

Looks like a good signing if a bit on the old side, but we need
experience when Care is missing.
