This is a very good shout. 6'1" and 110kg is not to be sniffed
at and he's quick. And only 21. He's played more at 13 and even
14 than at 12 though and he's not quite the "crash" centre that
Andre is. But no one is really...
His Italian teammate Federico Mori from Bayonne is a unit and
might be worth a punt. But I suspect the money and lifestyle in
Bayonne is pretty attractive.
It's rare for French players to go overseas but I like the look
of Tani Vili at Bordeaux too...

I am a bit worried that so few are English.
How are the academy prospects?
Jamie Benson has been doing well at 10 and 12 for Cambridge, in
the Championship.
He will be playing 10 for the University next week.
I forget how much longer he has until he graduates.

Agreed. I don't find the lack of 'noise' around incomings
concerning. Our transfer policy over the last 3 years has been
almost faultless.
Whether its football or rugby, the best organisations go about
their transfer business with minimal fuss and media leaks. By
the time the media hear, the deal is already done.
The management team will have done their due diligence and
they'll of had two or three alternatives already identified for
each position.

Shaun Kerr just put in MOTM performance for the U20s. Solid
place kicker too.
