Player Identification at Wasps Pre-Season
« on: July 18, 2022, 09:19:20 PM »
Hi All,

So I was watching Richard Blaze's interview on the Wasps Instagram page and he was talking about the forwards group and that he had a few players still to come but 3 new senior players (forwards) in the squad.

Now, two of them were Kiran McDonald and John Ryan but the other i can't identify and its not Koch (obvs). Also checked and its not Burger either or WHW (obvs both backs). So does anyone know who it is?

Attached a pic

That cap looks very much like the Chicago Bulls emblem.

It is, but that doesn't help. I recognise him, but can't put a name ...

Could be Harley. Looks like Chisholm from Quins as well but there is absolutely no talk of that. Harleys not a bad call.

Apparently Harley has signed for a French D2 side. Could it be an academy promotion - not Alfie Bell is it - I don’t think so.

Looks a bit 'middle-aged' for a Academy promotion ....

Some careful photo comparisons, and it is him. Plays for the same side as Sebastian de Chaves.

He posted on Insta (https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzfM5RraGF/?hl=en) 1 week ago that he was leaving Texas. But did not say which team.
