With the clue being he's 28 and in his prime it's got to be Toomaga-Allen.

JCW replacement basically.

willing to be proved wrong but was the last Kiwi prop at Wasps Craig Dowd? He was pretty decent....

But I expect the usual group of knockers will be slagging him off pretty quickly on message boards & social media. ::)

Bollocks. Was really hoping he'd stick around. Rumour is Bath waved a huge check under his nose.

I suppose that's why Wasps have timed each announcement to try and soften the blow of Will Stuart.

Huge cheques are very hard to ignore. Despite all the gloom and doom merchants, I doubt if there is a lot more to it than that. I presume his senior contract signed last May was for 1 year. Would a 1 year contract be usual for a senior academy player breaking into the seniors?

He looks an all round beast. The cynic in me says that he would look that as it's an appreciation vid, however..........
