I don’t believe so. If everyone gets fit we possibly just need some depth at 12. If we lose Fekitoa that gap will need plugging. I think we just need some consistency of combinations there.

Vincent Koch: Saracens fans saying same thing after shock Wasps news

https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/vincent-koch-wasps-saracens-rugby-22412854

No surprise that Sarries fans are gutted to see him go,  Thought this was an odd quote: "Most underrated prop in world rugby.".  Underrated?? Really??  I think most would rate him as one of the best, if not the best tighthead in world rugby.  He's a great player and is recognised as such, so definitely not underrated.  Great bit of business.  Huge pat on the back for all those involved in making this happen (and keeping it quiet).

Not sure any prop involved in the SA front rows can be considered underrated...

I'll be honest, I rate Furlong and potentially Sinkler slightly higher, but it's not by much.

I certainly don't rate Sinckler's scrummaging.

Nor his temperament.

Sinkler's scrummaging is fine. He's generally solid at international level, with only the boks really hurting him, and lets be honest, who don't they hurt?

As for his temperament, the only time I can think of him losing it was when Cowan Dickie flew in and smashed his knees with a LCD special. Fairly sure a few on here have had issue with those low grasscutter tackles before too. He's similar to Genge, right on the edge, but rarely over. Again, plenty saying they want a bit of nasty in the pack, well that's as close as you can get these days.

Personally I’d take Koch over Sinckler. Both fine players of course but Koch edges it for me at scrum time.

I still don't rate Sinckler's scrummaging. He may  find it easier to hold his own at international level but that would IMO be because he has better players behind him. At club level, he goes down far too easily. There are THs better in the scrum than him in the Prem - Brookes for one, before he left for France.
