Oh dear he's from the Championship. Some elsewhere will sneer about his DNA!

Welcome Robin.

Welcome to Bomber Hislop. Good addition to the LHP team.

Looks like a solid squad signing. Probably starts fourth in the pecking order. Surely has to signal the departure of Zhvania.

Looks to be a solid option. Was very good in his younger days for Scotland Grades but lost track of him. Welcome.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Interesting that three of the signings so far come with leadership potential/experience. Stooke at 27 and very experienced, Hoogard with 46 international caps & now Hislop with Championship Captaincy experience. Given Wasps mental frailties, this is a good move.

Just watched the brief highlights reel of his on wasps Twitter, reminded me of Matt Mullan defensively, if he is half as good as someone I rate as one of the best defensive tackling props will be a good signing.

Same here, very reminiscent of Mullan.

Might be slightly O/T but has anyone else noticed a similarity between our latest signing and a certain former Tigers and Italy prop forward?
Now if ‘Bomber’ Hislop can turn out as good as the other one think we might be OK 😊.
