Well that took a while to confirm. 

Welcome John.

Good news.

Great signing, long delay on this, perhaps down to Munster waiting to announce a replacement.

Saw JTAs wife on her Instagram back in NZ for a wedding and whilst out for lunch, said something along the lines of ‘will be able to do this more when I’m home’. If JTA is heading back to NZ he could go straight back on time for some ITM and then wait for super rugby until after Christmas so maybe no announcement will come on him until a list of departing players is named.

Alo signed a new deal last year so assumed he’ll stay as well as Millar-Mills as 4th choice TH but wonder if having Scholtz is one prop too many on the wage bill.

Wasps sign Munster prop John Ryan ahead of 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership season

He follows Vincent Koch who agreed a move from Saracens

Dang that's some serious depth at tighthead. Our forward pack is looking pretty fantastic going into next season.

Sure is - being a warmth to the heart of this old prop. and indeed - out front 5 is looking excellent. The front row looks to have more going for it than one or two international teams....!!!

Wonder if this week with no game might be the information release week.

Sounded like ST were upcoming so they need news to get people interested.

So front row roster next season is possibly

TH        : Koch, Ryan, Alo, Miller-Mills

Hooker :  Cruse, Oghre, Frost

LH        : West, Harris, Hislop

Have I missed anyone?

Martinez at LH.

Is Van Vuuren likely to be retained? Perfect 4th choice guy in my opinion and we need 4 hookers.

So either we take on another youngster as
Eckersley still has 2 more years at uni, or a first choice Championship player who’s happy to come in as 4th choice with us

The last championship hooker we took on is mounting a serious challenge to be first choice IMO

For me Frost has been a great signing, who is still very young and is likely to improve a lot more. For me already 1st choice

Frosty edges it for me. If he hadn't been out injured for a few weeks, I think he would have already cemented the #1 spot.
